Hi

I do not see how you come to the conclusion that the script is new. It
has existed since the 15th of Sep 2009[1] (before that it was known as
eclipse.sh) and we have had plenty of uploads since then to Ubuntu Karmic.

That being said, no - you do not see any changes that install it because
they were already in place. What you are looking for are line 165 of
debian/rules and line 1 of eclipse-platform.install.
