Package: libswt3.2-gtk-java
Version: 3.2.1-4
Unfortunately libswt3.2-gtk-java is not using the alternatives system
like libswt-gtk-3.2-java. This makes it impossible / hard to package
other software depending one libswt3.2-gtk-java OR libswt-gtk-3.2-java.
I would recommend using the alternatives system like libswt-gtk-3.2-java
and additionally use /usr/share/java for the jars (this may be a symlink
t /usr/lib/eclipse).
See "Debian policy for Java" Chapter 2. Policy; 2.4. Java libraries:
"Their classes must be in jar archive(s) in the directory /usr/share/java"
Best regards

No. Alternatives doesn't makes sense in this case. The two libraries
are different versions with different APIs. One is the successor of the
other. And its not defined that the successor may not change/remove
existing stuff. Hwo do you want to handle this?
Cheers,
