Ant itself is compiled correctly. I'm using both java6 and java5 from Sun, using "alternatives", and it works fine. The problem is with some libs included in Debian version. As a workaround, I commented out this code:

# Add the Xerces 2 XML parser in the Debian version
#if [ -z "$LOCALCLASSPATH" ] ; then
# LOCALCLASSPATH="/usr/share/java/xmlParserAPIs.jar:/usr/share/java/xercesImpl.jar"
#else
# LOCALCLASSPATH="/usr/share/java/xmlParserAPIs.jar:/usr/share/java/xercesImpl.jar:$LOCALCLASSPATH"
#fi

These are the jars which are incompatible with Java 1.5.x (JRE included, not only JDK). I commented this out and my builds are now working again.
