So how to fix Java or X11 case?  Are there any methods to provide
chpax.sh in debian?  My opinion is "debian should provide chpax.sh to
deal with such pax-unaware applications".

Glibc package does not have chpax binary, so it's difficult to provide
such functions.  The appropriate package to provide such feature is
currently chpax, I think.
