Hmm, this is very weird, I cannot reproduce this failure either by manually
running jh_manifest, or building the package in a clean chroot (via cowbuilder)
- it builds just fine.

That should not be a problem.

This is really weird, since none of the manifests I have after building, nor
the one you sent me, contain a byte with the value f3 (according to hexdump).
I have two more questions: what locale are you building in, and could you run
the following command after you get a build failure (either of you):
for j in `find debian -name *.jar `;
do
rm -rf META-INF;
jar xf $j META-INF/MANIFEST.MF;
hexdump -C META-INF/MANIFEST.MF | grep -i f3;
done
For me this returns no results - ie, none of the manifests contain a byte 0xf3.
I know this isn't really helping with getting javahelper working for you.
There's an easy work around though - you're probably not actually using any
jh_manifest features, so you could just add:
override_jh_manifest:
to your debian/rules file (assuming dh7) and it will skip running it at all.
This should be fine.
