I also believe that this package needs some reviewing. I may be missing something but why does this package require icedtea6? I thought that Icedtea6 and OpenJDK are free software. Trefore they don't belong to K-restr-extr.
Also by installing this package one gets 2 flavours of JAVA one is sun-java6 and the other the OpenJDK.

Subsequently one needs to do a "sudo update-alternatives --config java to choose between the two options.

IMHO icedtea6 should be installed by default in Kubuntu and only sun-java6 should be included in K-res-extr.
