You will find now, as part of java-common, a script
/usr/sbin/update-java-alternatives
which does what you want.
tmarble@techno 173% update-java-alternatives --help
usage: update-java-alternatives [--jre] [--plugin] [ -t|--test|-v|--verbose]
-l|--list [<jname>]
-s|--set <jname>
-a|--auto
-h|-?|--help
tmarble@techno 174%
To set automatic priorities, do this
# update-java-alternatives --auto
To select the Sun Java JDK, do this
# update-java-alternatives --set java-1.5.0-sun
HTH,

P.S. Note the approach to handling different SDK implementations is
currently under discussion and is likely to evolve.
