Sorry to follow up to myself
rpm -q --scripts java-1.6.0-openjdk
actually shows it has commands to install itself in alternatives, but
it didn't happen. I ran the commands by hand and got the error
link /usr/share/javaws incorrect for slave javaws (/usr/bin/javaws
javaws)
that's why it didn't install. I can remove the part about javaws from
the script and it works. Will investigate why that at some point.
