Unfortunately, we failed to spot that the plugin package gets pulled in
by default on a fair amount of desktop installations (at the very
least, LO -> default-jre -> default-java-plugin -> icedtea-8-plugin),
and there were late reports of APT not handling the upgrade scenario
well (specifically, refusing to touch the packages on a dist-upgrade).
We therefore decided not to include this update for now, until we can
look at better fixes for the user experience.

Adam
