I have always thought that a single upstream's source (i.e. tarball) should not appear in more than one source package. But now I see the point in splitting the upstream's source in order to split the responsibilities.

True indeed. OK, I will work on separating Java and C packages for antlr4 when I have time.

Thanks,
