The change to comply with the Java packaging policy has been uploaded to unstable for the trixie release cycle. If we see wide-scale breakage, we can revisit the issue (and modify policy if needed). Otherwise, I intend to address any minor breakage on a package-by-package basis to comply with policy, and invite others to as well. Thank you to all for the discussion and help on this long-standing issue. Cheers, tony
