The problem seems to be that the package expects to be built using
fastjar (and build-depends appropriately), but the calls in the build
process are just to `jar'. On my system (and presumably also the
submitter's) this doesn't point to fastjar because several packages use
the alternatives mechanism to provide a jar program. fastjar supports
the `@' argument, whereas the others do not.

The Debian Java policy says that the build system should explicitly use
a specific build environment and not rely on the alternatives mechanism.

The fix is therefore to call make with JAR=fastjar. This package has a
very convoluted build system, however, so I'm not going to try and
produce a patch

HTH,
Matt
