[Bug 514894] [NEW] sun-java6-plugin is an empty package; it installs no files

[Ryan Thompson]

Public bug reported:

I tried to use a web page that used a java applet, but it failed to
load. This was odd to me, because I had installed the sun-java6-plugin
package. Then I went to check where this package installs its files, and
I discovered that it doesn't install *any* files at all! Here's the
output when I list all the files. Notice that the only one that isn't a
directory is /usr/share/lintian/overrides/sun-java6-plugin, which is a
file informing me that the package contains empty directories. Haha.
