Why not make it part of OpenJDK, so the user only has to install
openJDK to get a fully functional java installation ? (both JRE and
browser plug-in and Java Web Start) ??.

Why confuse the users with yet-another-package name? What´s the
rationale for "splitting" the plug-in into "Icedtea" which AFAIK is
redundant and useless in spite of the availability of OpenJDK?.

Just thinking aloud...
