Seems to work:

  $ ls -la /usr/share/java/htmlcleaner*
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     15 18 mars  18:20 /usr/share/java/htmlcleaner-2.26.jar -> htmlcleaner.jar
  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 176219 18 mars  18:20 /usr/share/java/htmlcleaner.jar
  $ sudo dpkg -i oss/debian/davmail/libhtmlcleaner-java_2.26-1+fix+bad+jar+name+1_all.deb
  [...]
  $ ls -la /usr/share/java/htmlcleaner*
  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 176219 23 mars  15:27 /usr/share/java/htmlcleaner-2.26.jar
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     20 23 mars  15:27 /usr/share/java/htmlcleaner.jar -> htmlcleaner-2.26.jar
