I just searched for it in deselect, and you seem to be right: it's not
there. While trying to trace down when java starts/stops working
according to the installed debian packages, I manually copied the
package changes to a temporary file. Most probably I made a typo
somewhere. Sorry.

The plugin install process fetches more than just one file, so those
15MB sound correct. If you resize the window during download, the full
path of the source location is displayed. The files in that directory
have funny extensions, but essentially they seem to be just (win)zip
files. I tried to do something useful with them, but IIRC at some
point java or javascript was required to continue. That's why I
thought it easier to use the default instllation procedure.
