Now I found the problem.

The three packages jikes, jikes-kaffe and jikes-classpath
all overwrite each others copyright files.

So:
Installing jikes wrecks the checksums of jikes-classpath and jikes-kaffe
Installing jikes-kaffe wrecks the checksums of jikes and jikes-classpath
Installing jikes-classpath wrecks the checksums of jikes and jikes-kaffe


Just try it.  Install all three packages.
Then, apt-get --reinstall install <one of the packages>
run
debsums jikes jikes-kaffe jikes-classpath
and see that the one installed is ok, and the other two is not.
This is fully repeatable and works for any of the three packages.

My guess: over-eager cut&paste when making postinst scripts? ;-)

Probably not a real problem, except it trips up debsums and
stores wrong licencing info.
