I would agree the above situation is not desirable.  It is hard to tell
how many people have run into this issue, as it is probably more trouble
to post to this list than it is to find the appropriate variable and set
it to an appropriate value.

I don't know how the Emacs apt-get package is maintained, but it seems
to me that the variable should be set by the apt-get package
maintainers.  I assume the Emacs packages already have to set a number
of customization variables perhaps the best approach would be to find
out how to add org-ditaa-jar-path to their list.
