Hi Gregor,

I have recently started observing build failures for packages that use
jh_manifest (which is part of Debian's javahelper).  All of the failures
I have seen so far have the same symptom, namely that the manifest
cannot be extracted from the JAR, which is actually a Zip archive.  An
example build error:

I don't know if this is the same issue but wanted to mention it here,
since it seems potentially related.  I'd be glad to provide more
debugging information or testing if that would help.  libquartz2-java is
an example of a source package that exhibits this issue.

Cheers,
tony
