retitle 338569 java-package: can't run java programs via two symlinks - "JVM 
not found: libjvm.so"

thank

I also hit this problem on i386. It appears that make-jpkg in stable creates
scripts in /usr/bin that are linked via alternatives, instead of double
symlinking to the real binary. For some reason this has been removed in the
version currently in unstable.

I have included a patch that will restore this functionality for ibm v5 
jre/jdk. It
is also required for java 1.4, so it needs fixing there too, but this patch
should help you build your v5 packages in the mean time.

Richard.
