Hi Tony,

For my understanding, what are the tools relying on this naming policy?
I'm asking because I'm pretty sure many packages don't strictly adhere
to the Java policy on this point (for example liblog4j1.2-java vs
/usr/share/java/log4j-1.2.jar) and I'm not under the impression it's
causing such a havoc.
