Where does one find these docs? Or are these just the docs describing the
conventions that sun uses for their own jars? If it's the latter, I see no
reason to tell every java developer that debian wants them to adhere to sun's
personal convention. As far as I was aware, jar versions are
application-specific and are not .so names.

I've never felt anything that moves me as much as my piano. I'm
an emotional player. I don't really like people. I prefer my piano to people.
It's totally reliable and it's alive. I can hear what it's saying. For
the most part, piano are female to me. Sometimes they're dykes, and they're
always good fun.
