It is a bit.  There are reasons to keep the upstream JAR name, e.g.,
for XML building scripts that use this.

OTOH, I agree jarfiles in
/usr/share/sgml/docbook/stylesheet/xsl/nwalsh/extensions/ should be
symlinks, and tha the Java shipped with the docbook-xsl package should
comply with the Debian Java policy.  Can you file a bug against
docbook-xsl outlining the current non-compliance?

One might go even further and break out the Java into separate
packages depending on the processor in question, e.g., a certain
version of saxon, a certain version of xalan2....
