I think you can ignore that. It's just a warning.  The rest of your steps
were very sound.

In particular ...

... a very good idea to realign what command will default to being 'java' ...

... but given that javareconf also looks after javac and javah, I recommend
doing the same update-alternatives call for 'javah' and 'javac'.

I just re-did that on a Ubuntu 8.04, 32bit, machine and it re-built rJava,
JGR, JavaGD, ... without a hitch.
