I added a couple of patches which are required to have a buildable
aolserver on Linux. It could be nice having them integrated upstream.
One of them is on your bugs system since ages. I'll post the other one

Mmm, java is unfortunately non-free from the Debian point of view.
So an optional integration is a good thing, but please avoid to have
important/essential/required features depending on java support.
