Yes it bothers me too. What bothers me more is that someone (I
do not remember who) told me that I should name my package
libxalan2-java instead of lib-xalan2-java. Well that is a old
thing.
I suggest that we name the packages libfoo-java or in some
cases libfoo-version-java if that are necessary.
Is that ok if I change the policy in that way?

And there are a number of packages that does not have
the -java ending at all.
junit
liblog4j (that is my fault, sorry I'll change it)
more?
