Bug in java-package 0.28

I've been trying to package and install the latest Java 1.5 SDK from IBM
to use on my Ubuntu 6.10 PPC system (actually a Powerbook G4, if that
makes a difference). Not only can't I get it to work, I also can't
figure out how to file a bug report. (I tried reportbug, but that sent
info to Ubuntu, not Debian.) Since IBM posted the most recent version on
February 1st, I think there may be a compatibility issue.

Sorry to plug up the mailing list, but here's what's happening:

$ make-jpkg ibm-java2-sdk-5.0-4.0-linux-ppc.tgz 
Creating temporary directory: /tmp/make-jpkg.ehrCri8111
Loading plugins: blackdown-j2re.sh blackdown-j2sdk.sh common.sh
ibm-j2re.sh ibm-j2sdk.sh j2re.sh j2sdk-doc.sh j2sdk.sh j2se.sh
sun-j2re.sh sun-j2sdk-doc.sh sun-j2sdk.sh

Detected Debian build architecture: powerpc
Detected Debian GNU type: powerpc-linux-gnu

No matching plugin was found.
Removing temporary directory: done
$

By contrast, the latest version of 1.4.2 works fine.

Thanks,
Todd O'Bryan
