I just spent a fair chunk of time to figure out the reason openjade was 
failing for me because I had DEBUG set in my environment (it was in my 
.cshrc because of working on OpenOffice).  That sort of thing is really 
annoying.  I know it would be hard to make sure the scripts don't have 
any such dependencies, but reliable source distribution pretty much 
depends on it.
