Package: libswt3.2-gtk-java
Version: 3.2.1-4

Unfortunately libswt3.2-gtk-java is not using the alternatives system 
like libswt-gtk-3.2-java. This makes it impossible / hard to package 
other software depending one libswt3.2-gtk-java OR libswt-gtk-3.2-java.

I would recommend using the alternatives system like libswt-gtk-3.2-java 
and additionally use /usr/share/java for the jars (this may be a symlink 
t /usr/lib/eclipse).
See "Debian policy for Java" Chapter 2. Policy; 2.4. Java libraries:
"Their classes must be in jar archive(s) in the directory /usr/share/java"


Best regards
