Package: java-package
Version: 0.23
Followup-For: Bug #268214

I want to point out that there are other files which should be marked as
conffiles and moved to /etc/*

jre/lib/security/*
jre/lib/*.properties

In the security dir (sun jvm 1.4) there are a couple of jars
(security/US_export_policy.jar & security/local_policy.jar), but I don't
know how to handle them...

About how to handle compatibility, I don't think /etc/.java is good,
because I wouldn't like any hidden files in /etc. Alex Owen pointed
before, that if /etc/.java is not found, it falls back to the java home,
and I think there we should put the compatibility symlinks.
