That it actually is a problem is obvious from this issue anyway, though. It even was reported for a platform which is built by Sun. Don't trust every bogus comment from upstream people. Marking as forwarded. Please try whether the unopkg workaround you mention in your last comment also works on a system covered by this BTS (Debian sid/Debian testing) - Ubuntu is not and if you reproduce a bug in Debian sid please also try the workaround on Debian sid instead of telling that it works in Ubuntu (they take more or less the identical packages).
