Currently we have two commons-collections packages in repository.
libcommons-collections-java - 2.x release
libcommons-collections3-java - 3.x release

I browsed the upstream release archive and it looks like the last
release from 2.x was in 2002. So in my opinion we should migrate the
rdepends to libcommons-collections3-java. AFAIK, 3.x API is backward
compatible with 2.x.

Let me know your comments.

Any comments on this topic?

I'm not sure it is fully backward compatible. There was a binary incompatibility between 2.1 and 3.0 which was resolved in Commons Collections 2.1.1. And some deprecated classes and methods were removed in the 3.0 release.

Is it possible to know how many packages depend on the 2.x collections package? It would be worth checking if they still compile after the migration.
