Hello,

I believe you are referring to the apache-jena/bin subdirectory of the source
package tree. That should be doable. However I am not sure if all these scripts
will work correctly because we ship only a subset of all apache-jena artifacts
in Debian. In fact the package is currently just a dependency of openrefine.
Could you try to install those scripts into /usr/local/bin (for testing
purposes) and report back if they work as you would expect them to work when
you use libapache-jena-java from Debian? I would also call the binary package
apache-jena-bin and omit the lib prefix because this one is reserved for
libraries only. 

Regards,

Markus
