** Suggestions:

I am not expert in Debian packaging, but trying to get the sources with: apt-get source jbossas4 I found that one of the activities done when creating jbossas4 is to unjar the gnu-getopt.jar to be included in the main jbossas4 (this is the reason, i think, because jbossas4 doesn't need as dependency the package libgetopt-java.

The problem is that opening with file-roller the file /usr/share/java/jbossas4-run.jar I can't see any folder named "gnu". In addition, trying to add manually, the gnu folder from /usr/share/java/gnu-getopt.jar to /usr/share/java/jbossas4-run.jar the problem seem to be solver (but there are other similar problems).

It seem to be an error when building the deb package. Someone can confirm?

Thank you
