sun-java6-plugin on amd64

["Todd A. Jacobs" <nospam@codegnome.org>]

I can't seem to get the Java6 plugin working on my 64-bit
testing/unstable system. I have the following installed:

    sun-java6-bin                                   install
    sun-java6-jre                                   install
    sun-java6-plugin                                install

The Sun JVM seems to be the system default:

    $ update-alternatives --display java
    java - manual mode
     link currently points to /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java
    /usr/bin/gij-4.2 - priority 42
    /usr/bin/gij-4.3 - priority 43
    /usr/bin/gij-4.4 - priority 1044
    /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java - priority 1061
     slave java.1.gz: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/man/man1/java.1.gz
    /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java - priority 63
     slave java.1.gz: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/man/man1/java.1.gz
    /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj/jre/bin/java - priority 1043
     slave java.1.gz: /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj/man/man1/java.1.gz
    Current `best' version is /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java.

and yet Iceweasel steadfastly refuses to acknowledge the java6 plugin in
about:plugins. Has anyone actually gotten the 64-bit java6 plugin to
work, and if so, what is the missing incantation?
