The Debian Policy ยง 9.9 clearly says: A program must not depend on environment variables to get reasonable defaults. Setting an environment variable in debian/rules for build is okay but no software should depend on them during runtime. If it does we need to provide a wrapper.

Bug#306800: jta: Please allow building with sun-j2sdk1.5 and recognize the JAVA_HOME directories used by java-package
Package: jta
Version: 2.5-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Please change the Build-Depends from 'j2sdk1.4' to 'java2-compiler' to allow
building with sun-2jsdk1.5.
Please also set JAVA_HOME correctly to the directories used by the
{sun,ibm,blackdown}-j2sdk1.x packages which are created by java-package.
Regards
Andreas Jochens

I'm of two minds about this. Isn't it really more of make-jpkg's job
to make sure that any javac built sets any required environment
variables correctly?

I do not know a perfect solution for the JAVA_HOME problem. However,
this is a solution which is currently used by many Java related
packages and at least it works. I do not think that JAVA_HOME should
be set by the j2sdk* packages.

The JDKs are packaged by make-jpkg are non-free, and as such, we do not
tamper with the javac, java, etc. commands of any vendor's JRE/JDK.
People expect that sort of thing to be left the way the vendor made it,
and currently (for better or worse) a java command from any of them does
not attempt to set JAVA_HOME or other environmental variables itself.
