This means your preferences will be considered corrupt whenever you
switch from the upstream version to the debian package or vice versa.
As one of the JOSM developers, I find this quite unfortunate. Here is a
suggested fix: Instead of replacing the "resource://" URLs in the source
code directly [1], change the way these URLs are retrieved: First check
the /usr/share/josm directory, then inside the jar. Patch attached
(untested).
