Looks like the new package failed to build. Would it help to have the
fix backported to IcedTea 1.7 as suggested in the upstream bug report in
order to make sure this makes it into Lucid? I could drum up some
support (lots of people waiting for this), but I don't want to do so in
vain.

Bug description:
I'm trying to run a custom rhino to build Dojo, but OpenJDK keeps ignoring the rhino in the jar file I provide and keeps loading rhino from the system libs:

$ java -verbose:class -jar ../shrinksafe/custom_rhino.jar
...
[Opened /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/rhino.jar]
[Loaded org.mozilla.javascript.tools.shell.Main from /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/rhino.jar]
[Loaded org.mozilla.javascript.ContextFactory from /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/rhino.jar]
[Loaded org.mozilla.javascript.tools.shell.ShellContextFactory from /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/rhino.jar]
...

If I specify a classpath, it still loads from the system rhino library:

$ java -classpath ../shrinksafe/ -verbose:class -jar ../shrinksafe/custom_rhino.jar
...
[Opened /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/rhino.jar]
[Loaded org.mozilla.javascript.tools.shell.Main from /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/rhino.jar]

[Loaded org.mozilla.javascript.tools.shell.ShellContextFactory from /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/rhino.jar]
...

If I change over to using sun's JRE, it works fine:

$ sudo update-java-alternatives --set java-6-sun
$ java -verbose:class -jar ../shrinksafe/custom_rhino.jar
...
