I followed Scott's hint and finally got a figtree deb package with the
quite ugly hack to specify the direct location of the jars in question.
I mentioned this very version in the Build-Depends to at least have a
chance that this works.  However I seem to have not understood the
library building process yet because when trying to run figtree the
jam-lib (and probably others) are not found:

$ figtree

All *.debs I used are at the location mentioned above.

Thanks for any help
