It is probably an artifact from junit (which also have binaries in
/usr/bin/).
Though, Java libraries should also be named "libX-java" (i.e.
libjunit4-java), so it would need a rename of the binary package as
well. With a transitional package if there are versioned
(build-)dependencies on junit4 - otherwise a "Provides: junit4" might do.
