What should we do about the servlet-api.jar symlink? Currently 
/usr/share/java looks like:

    servlet-2.3.jar
    servlet-api-2.4.jar
    servlet-api.jar -> servlet-api-2.4.jar

We want libservlet2.5-java to be able to co-exist with 2.4 and 2.3 (and 
so I can't conflict&replace 2.4), which means I can't provide a 
servlet-api.jar symlink (without a lot of hassle). I think this could be 
a Good Thing as applications would link to specific versions of the API.

Any comments?

Thanks.
