Well, I went through the on line manifest (a misnomer apparently as it
lists added, updated and removed, but not unchanged packages). The only
reference I found to jpackage was in the gcj-compat package.

I tried a remove of it and aborted when I saw it would get rid of a
bunch of stuff I need, like OpenOffice.

So I can't confirm if I have the right one or not that way.
