I had the same problem.  It's not much work to download JDE and "install" it
without any ill effect on your Debian configuration.  That's what I did.

You don't need to do anything to use the JDE package from Debian.  I
installed -- that is, untarred and byte-compiled -- mine in my ~/emacs
directory and added these to my .emacs file:

  (add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/emacs/jde/lisp"))
  (add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/emacs/cedet/common"))
  (load-file (expand-file-name "~/emacs/cedet/common/cedet.elc"))
  (add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/emacs/elib"))

  (require 'jde)

The last line may not be required.  Also, the "expand-file-name" function
call isn't quite proper, but it works.
