Large-scale java policy violations

[Ben Burton <bburton@mail.math.okstate.edu>]

Okay.  Note that java policy states that "Libraries packages must be named
lib-XXX-java."

Below we see an approximate list of all java library packages available in
debian.  One observes that more than *half* of them are named
"libXXX-java"
instead of "lib-XXX-java".  We even see libpgjava with no dashes
whatsoever.

Does this bother anyone else but me?

Ben.
