Still no luck on amd64 (javahelper 0.37). 'unzip -t' reports no errors
before or after I run jh_manifest.

Are you on i386? I guess I'll have to test that next.

BTW, I had to comment out "export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk"
from the terraintool debian/rules file because I only have
java-6-openjdk-amd64 and java-6-openjdk-common here (but the build-deps
are obviously satisfied.)

OK, thanks for the info.

Cc'ing the bug, hope that's OK with you. I tried to remove any remotely
private information in case you left the bug out intentionally.
