That would work too, I'm not too familiar with how the sun package is
put together with the properties files in /etc, but the
java.library.path property is what should be appended (or set).

a properties file that looks something like:
# Tells java to look for JNI libraries in the Debian policy location
java.library.path=/usr/lib/jni

I don't know if we would need to do some substr magic to append the
path, or if that is typically an empty variable to begin with. I
couldn't find documentation saying whether or not it should be
appended or if it is ok to set to a single directory. I also don't
know if a user setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH on their own overwrites our
java.library.path
