However the user should be able to use the java utilities provided by this package WITHOUT further intervention after installing this package. This can be achieve eiether by setting the environmental variables (may be global) as mentioned by you or (better) by linking all utilities back to /usr/bin, like what you have already done to other utilities (except javah) in this package. These things should really be automated by this package and shouldn't rely on user's manual intervention. because your free-java-sdk package is build-dependent to quite a few other programs and therfore in order to allow automatic compiliation of these other packages, your package must be able to be automatically fetched, installed, configured and function correctly WITHOUT user intervention.
i.e., your program would be called by apt-get build-dep when other packages are compiled and they your package must work straight away before the other packages will compile. Thanks for your attention.
