Details

The AUR package java-jce_policy installs the /sbin/install_java_jce_policy script which needs to be run each time the jre is updated. It would be convenient if the jre post_upgrade() function runs this script should it exist.

you should drop the leading /

I take it you mean the / preceding sbin. Here is an updated patch.

still is half fixed

The second instance is easy to miss. I used ./ (notice the period). Executing a script not [necessarily] in $PATH without ./ felt awkward to me.

Please search for similar projects that enable these sorts of events to be caught, and run specific commands in case they do get caught.
I am really hesitant to include this because it is an AUR package which doesn't seem to be popular.

Well I just took a look at the package, and this looks really bad.

package itself looks very outdated
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/java-jce_policy/java-jce_policy/PKGBUILD

I also found this:
http://java.sun.com/products/archive/jce/
And I quote
"JCE 1.2.2_xx is an optional package for use with J2SE 1.3.1. JCE is included and supported as part of J2SE 1.4.x and later. With this notice, customers are strongly encouraged to migrate to the current release."

Also jre already has the same named policy files as the policy files located here:
https://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_Developer-Site/en_US/-/USD/ViewProductDetail-Start?ProductRef=jce_policy-6-oth-JPR@CDS-CDS_Developer

I haven't checked the md5sums, but the names are the same.

Please explain this...
