As far as dependencies goes this looks sane to me. The issue is the init script of Tomcat [1], it uses /usr/lib/jvm/default-java first if available. The same goes for Jetty. Switching the default JRE will affect any application using /usr/lib/jvm/default-java directly instead of /usr/bin/java. Also if I'm not mistaken openjdk-6 could get autoremoved by APT and the alternative then switched to openjdk-7. So my suggestion would be to push an update of java-common first with a NEWS file stating that we'll stop maintaining openjdk-6 in months and switch the default JRE. This will let enough time to the LTS users to anticipate the change. Emmanuel Bourg [1] https://sources.debian.net/src/tomcat7/7.0.56-3/debian/tomcat7.init/#L56
