Could you please provide more information about why this is required? There's a symlink handled by alternatives (to not conflict with eclipse, for example) in /usr/share/java. The 3.4.2-2 revision changed where the content was stored, because swt-gtk is built upon native extensions, so is arch-dependent. To avoid confusion for java developers, which mostly bundle their classpath & libraries to the non-debian world, I've taken then off from /usr/share/java since by policy that's the destination for arch-independent data. I hope you're able to understand (and maybe agree) with me with this decision. Resuming, there's a symlink in /usr/share/java. What's the problem, why don't use that? I don't think duplicating it to /usr/lib/java is a decision to consider.
That said, waiting for your feedback.
