Silly me forgot a 'cd'...

Have updated Source link with new packages.  Changes:

   * non-native
   * no longer unzip build dependency
   * put "frameworks" back in for consistency across platforms for Java DB
     ==> get "W: sun-javadb-core: executable-not-elf-or-script" for .ksh
         files under frameworks.  Yes, this is due to these files not including
         "#!/bin/sh".
      - Can these warnings be overlooked?
      - Should I add dependency on ksh | mksh | pdksh for this?
        (they are deprecated, and they do execute under under sh and bash)
    * Standards-Version is now 3.7.3 (disregarding lintian warning on this)
    * Maintainer set to "MOTU Developers <email address hidden>"
    * Description (long) improved
    * usr/share/javadb/demo/programs/localcal/lib/ is still empty, like in
      upstream and on other) platforms

Should I care for this from lintian?  (assuming it will go away when on hardy,
or using lintian from hardy):

   ==> E: sun-javadb_10.3.2.1-0ubuntu1_i386.changes: bad-ubuntu-distribution-in-changes-file hardy

Still no luck with dput, so please see http://dbtg.thresher.com/derby/bits/ubuntu/
