Package: jarwrapper
Version: 0.43
Severity: normal

When jarwrapper registers it's format with binfmt-support, it neglects
to specify it's package name, which misleads binfmt-support into
believing that the format is a local format registered by the sysadmin.

You could fix this by just adding "--package jarwrapper" to the
commandline in jarwrapper.postinst, but
/usr/share/doc/binfmt-support/README.Debian suggests that it would be
better to install something like the following to /usr/share/binfmts:

and use "update-binfmts --import jarwrapper" as the full update-binfmts
commandline in your postinst.
