If you change the namespace it can't be used as a drop-in replacement.

But since the Debian libtablelayout-java package is already a fork of
the upstream TableLayout project using a different namespace (as
required by the license for derivative works), there is no need to
change again the namespace for anyone modifying the libtablelayout-java
package.
