Bug Description

Binary package hint: ant-contrib

For ant to use ant-contrib easily a symbolic link needs to be created in the /usr/share/ant/lib directory. Basically

ln -s ../../java/ant-contrib-1.0b3.jar ant-contrib.jar

would work just fine.

Using <pathelement/> is not good option if you use same build file on several platforms.
If it is so dangerous to enable symlink by default, please add it as an option.
