Bug#766392: maven-debian-helper: --no-usj-versionless does not work

I stumbled on the same issue, and it looks like this feature got broken
in maven-debian-helper 1.5.1. The copyJarToUsj() method was changed in
the commit 296f73f. Before that change the implementation was:

    private void copyJarToUsj() throws IOException {
        File jarFile = new File(fullJarName());
        if (jarFile.exists()) {
            System.out.println("Install jar for " + artifactId + " into /usr/share/java");
            mkdir(compatSharePath());
            FileUtils.copyFile(jarFile, new File(jarDestPath()));
            if (noUsjVersionless) {
                FileUtils.copyFile(jarFile, new File(versionedFullCompatPath()));
            } else {
                FileUtils.copyFile(jarFile, new File(fullCompatPath()));
                run(linkCommand(destUsjJarName(), versionedFullCompatPath()));
            }
        }
    }

In this version the jar is first copied into the Maven repository
(jarDestPath), if noUsjVersionless is set it's then copied as a
versionned jar (versionedFullCompatPath) into /usr/share/java.
The jar was duplicated but no versionless jar was installed.

After the commit the method became:

    private void copyJarToUsj() throws IOException {
        File jarFile = new File(fullJarName());
        if (jarFile.exists()) {
            System.out.println("Install jar for " + artifactId + " into /usr/share/java");
            mkdir(compatSharePath());
            FileUtils.copyFile(jarFile, new File(fullCompatPath()));
            if (noUsjVersionless) {
                run(linkCommand(destUsjJarName(), versionedFullCompatPath()));
            } else {
                run(linkCommand(destUsjJarName(), fullCompatPath()));
                run(linkCommand(destUsjJarName(), versionedFullCompatPath()));
            }
        }
    }

Here the jar is first copied as a versionless jar into /usr/share/java
even if noUsjVersionless is set, which is wrong.
