I agree.

Yeah.

Especially for distros (like the next Debian) where those libraries are
not hidden but due to the Java policy are actual packages depended on by
ure and libreoffice where needed:

$ dh_listpackages | grep java$
libunoil-java
libofficebean-java
libjuh-java
libridl-java
libunoloader-java
libjurt-java
$

Of course (and that is what I have local right now) I can make
libunoil-java and libjurt-java packages containing those jars as before
and depending on libridl-java but as said, this is mildly confusing.

A new libuno-java with a uno.jar would be cleaner.

Especially given the C++ libraries are named libuno_* (those are also
extra packages in the meanwhile):

$ dh_listpackages | grep libuno
libunoil-java
libuno-sal3
libuno-salhelpergcc3-3
libuno-cppu3
libuno-cppuhelpergcc3-3
libuno-purpenvhelpergcc3-3
libunoloader-java
