Mathieu,

Please make sure that the package dependencies reflect that the
package is built with source version 1.5. This can be done by
specifying the dependency 'java5-runtime'.

By the way, I am not sure why you are using ecj as compiler. I believe
GCJ/OpenJDK are the preferred compilers these days.
