I think most people using java in enterprises should be in the same
situation as me: my employer wants java, and doesn't fscking care
about free java. So, I usually package things for in-house use, and
whenever I can, try to use the free alternatives. So, I think having
non-free apis packaged is a good thing, and making it easy to
switching to free (e.g. with this approach) is a very good thing.

Yes, it is... But it could grow as it's needed...

We could start with the most popular ones. It is not very difficult to
add a Provides: line, only the name registration is complicated..
