In a post in the bug, I provided a patch to fix the Native library loading.

The problem is at execution, where the Java lib tries to use some
methods in the native lib.
Those methods are not available in the native lib currently in Debian. I
think there is a newer upstream release for the native library that
integrates them.
But I do not know if the Java lib upstream team uses official releases.

For what I understood, once patch is applied, is that the Java lib
version needs to match a specific version (newer?) of the native lib.
