FWIW, I support this also. But to go into more detail:

In this case however I might argue for something clear in the arch-dependant
package name that it's a JNI library, eg., libocf-pcsc-jni instead of just
libocf-pcsc.
The main reason being that (I presume) the C library provides java-specific
functions and so there seems little reason to use it outside the context of
JNI.
So I guess my stance is then to either:
- - use a single package named libfoo-java with both the java classes and the C
library, or:
- - use two packages, these being libfoo-java containing the java classes and
libfoo-jni containing the C library.
I don't see any particular need to favour only one of these options as policy;
I can see circumstances where each option (splitting vs not splitting) has
its benefits.
Ben.
