ubuntu-restricted-addons (9) precise; urgency=low

  * Drop icedtea6-plugin for security reasons (LP: #889171):
    - it's not restricted, unlike sun-java6-plugin which it replaced
    - use of java applets on the web has dropped off
    - the plugin finder service easily lets users install it if needed
    - this package gets installed for a large number of users because of
      the checkbox in the installer
    - the java plugin is one of the most attacked components by malware
