My argument for /usr/lib/jni is that other programs aren't going to want to
link with them, so it's better not to clutter up the default shared library
paths.
It's the same reason C python modules are placed beneath /usr/lib/pythonX.Y -
these are just libraries, but you only ever use them as python imports, so
you avoid cluttering up /usr/lib.

Yep, that and to also have the JVMs support this single place by including it
in the default java.library.path.
