I have now this:

$ sudo update-alternatives --config java
There are 2 choices for the alternative java (providing /usr/bin/java).

  Selection Path                                   Priority   Status
------------------------------------------------
  0  /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java  1061 auto mode
  1  /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java  1061 manual mode
* 2  /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java  1051 manual mode

Press enter to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number:
