That's a bug in lintian. Java uses .jar files that are zip files
containing Java class files. Mozilla uses .jar files in XPI files that
are zip files containing everything below the chrome/ directory. lintian
should make a difference between both. file *.jar will both report that
the .jar files are zip files. lintian should look into the zip and check
if they contain Java files.
