Well, yes, but, based on my poor understanding of such matters, how
can you change the alternatives if apt-get doesn't install more
updated versions? I think you should be able to specify to the
differencet utilities in the jdk. This is what I got in my env:
$ ls -l /etc/alternatives/java*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 45 Dec 17 18:16 /etc/alternatives/java ->

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