[Bug 359934] Re: Java is not included in ubuntu-restricted-extras

[Christian Wolf]

Your package is a s good as the .36, it is pulling all the goodies from
the repositories incl. Sun Java plugin, but only when installed via
synaptic from your PPA as additional software source.

It is, like the "original" metapackage, not doing anything when being
installed via direkt download and gdebi as it only "recommends" but does
not "requires" the other packages.

So your package is as good as the former and does pull sun-java6-plugin,
but I am really surprised why Michael Vogt chose this way - people
coming from windows, trying to download and install the package will
think it is broken as it does not do the job. Not your fault, but IMHO a
design bug in the original ubuntu-restricted-extras.
