My question here was whether I should rename the source package to match
the binary package. So, should the source package be named
libcommons-math-java as well? I did not find an answer to that in the
Java Policy.
I already maintain a Java library package where that's not the case.
("pj" source package builds "libpj-java".)

Thinking about it, I will probably repack. I may have to write a build
script, though.
