I had thought that the Debian package used its own launcher script
replacing the groovy and startGroovy from the upstream distribution --
on the very sensible grounds that Debian defines a specific path for the
things that the upstream scripts have to infer.  Also the upstream
scripts try to cope with all Posix compliant systems, which a Debian
specific script does not have to.
