Ok. After discussion on IRC, it seems that there is no need to
change the name of the source package.
So I keep the source package name "lib-dom-java", its compilation
will generate two binary packages : lib-dom-java and libdom1-java.
It seems that I was confused by the Java policy which isn't clear
about which type of package needs to be name libfoo-java (source and/or
binary package).
