I don't think the /usr/lib/jvm/default-java link should be modified by
update-java-alternatives, there are too many assumptions in Debian that
this path always leads to the same default JRE supported by Debian. But
we could add another link, for example /usr/lib/jvm/current-java, that
points to the JRE selected by update-java-alternatives.
