Further to my last email, I should add that this is not an issue that 
/usr/lib/jni
ever claimed to solve (just like the java[12]-runtime policy requirement does 
not
claim to solve the fact that different JVMs implement different subsets of the 
java
API).

The only reason for bringing in /usr/lib/jni is to get JNI modules out of 
/usr/lib
where they don't belong.  In this sense it is completely harmless and thus I 
see no
reason to explicitly go out of your way not to implement it.

Btw, where would you prefer to see JNI modules installed?

Ben. :)
