Thanks for your inputs.

I asked the Java packaging team for advice on this matter and they
recommended not to change the package name. I won't keep the deprecated
API around since it was deprecated several years ago and it is not
maintained anymore by upstream.

I intend to proceed with a proper transition via the Release Team. There
are only 6 reverse dependencies. This should be manageable.

Thanks,
