I'm also seeing this bug.
Since /usr/bin/epubcheck is a symlink to /usr/share/java/epubcheck.jar
and running
java -jar /usr/share/java/epubcheck.jar
runs epubcheck fine, I think the obvious solution is to replace the
symlink with a small shell script.
Here's a suggestion:
#!/bin/sh
exec java -jar /usr/share/java/epubcheck.jar "$@"
The executable permissions should also be removed from the jar-file.
Having jar as an executable format may have worked at some point, but
not any more.
