What sort of errors?  Can you provide a listing?

In Synaptic all you need is:

URI:		http://dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/jedit/
Distribution:  	./

Since Ubuntu is built on Debian, Ubuntu users can use the same method as 
Debian ones, can they not?

That's very true.  I suppose you mean it would be nice if jEdit was in the 
standard repositories for Debian and Ubuntu.  That would but nice and, I 
would think, only requires that a couple of people become a package 
maintainers for the distros.
