From j2re1.4, I think.

$ apt-show-versions j2re1.4

$ sudo update-alternatives --auto javaws
$ man javaws | head -1
javaws(1) javaws(1)
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javaws

There are 2 alternatives which provide `javaws'.

  Selection Alternative
-----------------------------------------------
*+ 1 /usr/lib/j2se/1.4/bin/javaws
          2 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/javaws

Press enter to keep the default[*], or type selection number: 2
Using '/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/javaws' to provide 'javaws'.
$ man javaws | head -1
man: warning: /usr/share/man/man1/javaws.1.gz is a dangling symlink

But for me, the point of this bug is really that javaws needs a man page.
