I've pushed the patch to core-updates.

I've created (and closed) bug# 31374 in order for us to be able to track it somehow.

I still don't know - I seem to have lost the local clone along the way.

It would be good to know it still.  It should be possible to unset the
CLASSPATH environment variable even before installing.

On the other hand, I checked that dependencies listed inside MANIFEST.MF are picked up by
the INDEX.LIST generator by manually editing a JAR file.

(Commenting in this thread so we can track the status)
