sure, but I checked that it installs ...

the gij problem should be the same. I don't have
/usr/share/man/ja/man1, and it installed fine. In the postinst:

update-alternatives --quiet --install /usr/bin/jar jar /usr/bin/fastjar 30 \
  --slave /usr/share/man/man1/jar.1.gz jar.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/fastjar.1.gz

Assuming this is not a gcc packaging problem ...
