I don't understand why the program can't be fully functional without the
signature. I'm still working on geogebra dependencies, so I didn't look
specifically to geogebra source, but I expect the program to run
correctly also if it is not digitally signed.

It this will turn out to be not true, then geogebra is non free, so I
won't package it for Debian, of course. Anyway, I don't think this will
happen: I'll put in Debian a version of geogebra without the signature
(which isn't needed at all to run a local Java application).

Thanks, Giovanni.
