Bug Description

The default-jre-headless package includes symlinks in /usr/lib/jvm:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Apr 27 2012 java-6-openjdk -> java-1.7.0-openjdk-amd64
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Apr 27 2012 java-1.6.0-openjdk -> java-1.7.0-openjdk-amd64
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Apr 27 2012 default-java -> java-1.7.0-openjdk-amd64
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Oct 25 01:10 java-1.7.0-openjdk-amd64 -> java-7-openjdk-amd64
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Nov 30 09:25 java-7-openjdk-common
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Nov 30 09:25 java-7-openjdk-amd64

These make no sense now that OpenJDK7 is default in Ubuntu; results in this error from ca-certificates-java:

Running hooks in /etc/ca-certificates/update.d....
sed: can't read /etc/java-6-openjdk/security/nss.cfg: No such file or directory
E: /etc/ca-certificates/update.d/jks-keystore exited with code 2.
done.

    default-jre-headless as default is now OpenJDK 7 (LP: #1084954).
