Thank you the clarification.  If that's the case, we can probably
address the bug with src:libnative-platform-java by updating
debian/rules to avoid using the DH sequencer and making the required
calls to mh_install explicitly.

That doesn't detract from the severity of this bug, but does allow more
time for discussion.

Cheers,
