Thanks for the insight.
However, it is not clear to me, from the comment in [0], under what
conditions to run:

  notifies :run, resources(:execute => "update-java-alternatives"), 
:immediately

Refering to [1]:
 a) all packages (at th end of the block)
 b) Only for the pltforms "ubuntu", "debian"
 c) Only for Sun -jvm on the platforms "ubuntu", "debian"

Appreciate any suggestions.
