That's why you put the symlinks in a very particular location (_NOT_
/usr/share/java) that is only inspected buy the common classpath scripts
if the corresponding JVM is used.

This is one of the main differences between Debian packaging and JPackage
packaging - jars are not lumped in a single directory, they are isolated
in separate parts of the filesystem to make sure they are never exposed to
the wrong jvm.
