Bug#542392: azureus: Refuses to start

Package: azureus
Version: 4.2.0.4-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

I have openjdk-6-jre installed, because azureus used to depend on it.
openjdk works fine with other java applications as well, so no
complaints here. But (see bug report #515015) some users found it annoying
that other jre's, like Sun's, could not be used.

Now the latest azureus version corrects this, I believe by means of the script
java-wrappers.sh. I suppose sun jre users are now happy. But I am very
UNhappy, because now azureus refuses to start at all. The error messages
are:

/usr/lib/java-wrappers/java-wrappers.sh: line 243: /usr/lib/java/bin/java:
/ No such file or directory
/usr/lib/java-wrappers/java-wrappers.sh: line 243: exec:
/ /usr/lib/java/bin/java: cannot execute: No such file or directory

Why can't azureus simply use the /etc/alternatives mechanism?
