Bug#610817: javahelper: jh_depends fails when a jar file is a relative symlink

[Andres Mejia]

Package: javahelper
Version: 0.32
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Whenever jh_depends is to process jar files which are symlinks with relative
paths (ex. ../../../java/somejar.jar), jh_depends fails complaining that the
file does not exist. This happens when a symlink to a jar file is installed with
dh_link.

Attached is a patch that allows jh_depends to cope with jar files as symlinks.
