I don’t expect that to be a problem with icedtea6-plugin. The only reason
it happened with sun-java6-jre is that there are lots of packages with
dependencies like openjdk-6-jre | sun-java6-jre | sun-java5-jre, and
aptitude doesn’t remove packages that satisfy alternative dependencies
even if they are satisfied in more than one way. There are no such
alternative dependencies on icedtea6-plugin.
