Confirmed working!
For reference of whoever might want to do that.

Starting fw version: 5.4.5.1
Starting JB version: unknown
-
Final fw version: 5.4.5.1 (this is NOT fw update)
Final JB version: 1.13.N

I am specifying because I can not assume this will work in every condition - though I think it will

Process (aka What _I_ did):
- Download JB zip package
- Copy Update_jailbreak_bridge_1.13.N_install.bin to Kindle root folder
- Eject Kindle
- [HOME] -> [MENU] > Settings -> [MENU] > Update Your Kindle.
- After the reboot, copy the content of archive kindle-5.4-jailbreak.zip to Kindle root folder (kindle-5.4-jailbreak.zip is in the JB zip package)
- Eject Kindle
- [HOME] -> [MENU] > Settings -> [MENU] > Update Your Kindle.

I described all this just to let everyone know that yes: you have to apply both .bin packages: at first I wasn't sure because the "bridge" had the word "update" in it, and also because I had the impression from eschwartz post that it wasn't needed, but then I read the docs and got the opposite impression.
