Bug#729943: jarwrapper: pass only 48 chars of Debian-Java-Parameters

Why is perl needed rather than perl-base (which is essential). The

Good point. It's just that dependencies on perl-base are so rare probably
because ${perl:Depends} never expands as perl-base but only as perl.
I'll update dependency to perl-base. I think it should be just enough.
Thanks.

Actually, you should probably just drop the dependency, since perl-base
is essential (and therefore causes a lintian error if you depend on it
without version).

You're right, depends-on-essential-package-without-using-version it is.
Perhaps the best would be to Depend on ${perl:Depends}. For jarwrapper it
expands to empty string.
Also ${perl:Depends} is missing from javahelper's Depends where (if added)
it expands to perl. I'll add ${perl:Depends} to Depends of javahelper as
the latter is actually using Perl scripts.
