If Icedtea-web is the plug-in component for OpenJDK upstream, its name should be openjdk-plugin !

Because it's a component which hasn't got to do much with OpenJDK.
The plugin derives from a separate code base.  Furthermore, Oracle has
asked the public not to use "OpenJDK" for programs which are not
substantially the same as something which Oracle publishes under the
name "OpenJDK".

That being said, I'm not even sure if it is a good idea to make the
plug-in easier to install.  It's the main way the OpenJDK code base is
exposed to mobile code, after all.
