If you want to do it in the packaging scripts, the problem becomes that
when someone installs java after libx11-6 the scripts won't run to make the
change. The user could re-install the package with dpkg -i, but that'd be
annoying. Maybe we could ship a script to make the change that the postinst
runs, and that the user could run manually if they need to?
