Thomas, What version of Hadoop are you building Debian packages for? If you're taking Cloudera's existing debs and modifying them, these include a backport of Sqoop (from Apache's trunk) which uses the rt tools.jar to compile auto-generated code at runtime. Later versions of Sqoop (including the one in the most recently-released CDH2: 0.20.1+169.56-1) include MAPREDUCE-1146 which eliminates that dependency.
