Bug#328080: java-package: make several j2sdk1.5-sun updates cohabit

Package: java-package
Version: 0.24
Severity: normal



For Sun sdk, java-package creates a package whose files are
mostly installed under /usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun/, whatever update
version it is... So installing the package created for update number
4 replaces the update 3, for example.
So it's hard to make several updates cleanly cohabit at the same time
(for test purpose before migration, for example).

A workaround could be to include the revision number in the directory
(/usr/lib/j2sdk1.5_03-sun/, /usr/lib/j2sdk1.5_04-sun/).
What do you think?
