libcommons-collections-java binary package becomes:
libcommons-collections2-java
libcommons-collections2-java-doc
libcommons-collections3-java binary package becomes:
libcommons-collections3-java
libcommons-collections3-java-doc
Both 2 and 3 currently use CDBS, and 2 has Debian Java Maintainers as
the maintainer.

Absolutely. As I mentioned, I am not strongly committed to the idea of
removing that prefix from the source packages, so the feedback I am
getting from you guys really helps to flesh that out. If most of us
find the lib prefix for source and binary packages of Java libraries
most intuitive, that's OK with me.
