Another solution could be to have the Sun jars allready present on the
build machine and put them in binary package (it's allowed), via a custom
build.properties.
I don't know deb packaging but on Redhat RPM we could add a require
for /usr/share/java/jndi.jar, /usr/share/java/jta.jar ....
tyrex is free but also require jta to be built, so it's the same problem.
