Yes, but do note that the location /usr/share/java in Debian is global and
solely intended for system wide jar files installed from debian packages. Do
not manually put random jar files there, neither as a user, nor from a
custom application installation script.

If you're including jar dependencies in your privately packaged file, I'd
recommend that you put the jar files in a 'lib' subdirectory of the
installation directiory, or directly in the same directory as your main
application jar.
