I've updated 06-move_data_out_of_jar.patch to use the CacheFile class
for "/data/help-browser.css" which the Debian package patches to use the
files from /usr/share/josm instead of the resources embedded in the jar.

This fixes the exception caused by the Help action. A new upload to
unstable will follow shortly.

Kind Regards,
