Further to my last email, I should add that this is not an issue that /usr/lib/jni
ever claimed to solve (just like the java[12]-runtime policy requirement does not
claim to solve the fact that different JVMs implement different subsets of the java
API).

The only reason for bringing in /usr/lib/jni is to get JNI modules out of /usr/lib
where they don't belong.  In this sense it is completely harmless and thus I see no
reason to explicitly go out of your way not to implement it.

Btw, where would you prefer to see JNI modules installed?

Ben. :)
