You should not build with 'javac' because it's an alternative and you never know what is 'behind' this symlink. Something like $(JAVA_HOME)/bin/javac is a better alternative. In the Makefile of libxp-java, JAVAC is define with an '='. I'm not a 'make' guru, but maybe it it was define with ':=', you could override the JAVAC value in your debian/rules Hope this helps. By the way, I could build the package with 'pbuilder', so maybe you can change the severity of the bug to wishlist and retitle 'Don't depend on javac to build the package' (of course it's the same thing with JAR ;-)).
