The JDKs are packaged by make-jpkg are non-free, and as such, we do not
tamper with the javac, java, etc. commands of any vendor's JRE/JDK.
People expect that sort of thing to be left the way the vendor made it,
and currently (for better or worse) a java command from any of them does
not attempt to set JAVA_HOME or other environmental variables itself.
