Hi,

I have written some patches to rewrite most of the javatools helpers
into perl using Debhelper's Dh_Lib[1].  This would fix this problem and
avoid future instances of it.

While the patches do include jh_linkjars, I doubt that the bug will be
fixed until jh_build and jh_depends have also been rewritten.
Therefore, I am not tagging this bug with "patch".

Thanks,
~Niels

[1] The 0001 patch is strictly unrelated but avoids relying (fake)root
when building the package.
