Yeah I saw your post on dev@ but I didn't immediately recognise the
problem, and it looked a lot like an upstream issue, so I ignored it.

I'm not sure what is going on with hppa.  The buildd failed the
testsuite in a rather weird way, which I couldn't reproduce on i386,
but then later someone binNMU'd 1.4.4 on hppa, so apparently it can be
built, somehow.  (Buildd issue?  The same buildd failed twice.)

As for java, I note that LaMont (CC'd) recently disabled the java
bindings in Ubuntu-land.  I don't know why - LaMont?  Anyway, the
trivial patch to do this is appended below, so you can try rebuilding
from source on your box.
