This affects Trusty and possibly others.. I hit it whilst backporting JavaFX (openjfx).

The package installs an incorrect symbolic link when trying to alias the alternative hyphen and dot-separated names, causing packages looking for "/usr/share/java/werken.xpath.jar" to fail to build.

$ ls -l /usr/share/java/werken*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 76418 Jan 27 2012 /usr/share/java/werken-xpath-0.9.4.jar
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Jan 27 2012 /usr/share/java/werken-xpath.jar -> werken-xpath-0.9.4.jar
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Jan 27 2012 /usr/share/java/werken.xpath.jar -> werken.xpath-0.9.4.jar

The manual work-around is to fix the link:

$ sudo ln -fs /usr/share/java/werken-xpath-0.9.4.jar /usr/share/java/werken.xpath.jar

$ ls -l /usr/share/java/werken*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 76418 Jan 27 2012 /usr/share/java/werken-xpath-0.9.4.jar
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Jan 27 2012 /usr/share/java/werken-xpath.jar -> werken-xpath-0.9.4.jar
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 38 May 15 00:42 /usr/share/java/werken.xpath.jar -> /usr/share/java/werken-xpath-0.9.4.jar
