Hmm?  I thought we were allowing the choice of (1) splitting *.class and JNI 
libraries into -java and -jni packages, or (2) bundling them all into a 
single arch-dependent -java package when the package is so small that the 
split appears to be more hassle than it's worth.

The fragment of policy below seems to insist on (1) only.

Perhaps I missed part of the thread there?
