Hi,
recent upload of quartz v2.1.4 in sid created some issue in one of my
package and will certainly impact many other packages.
The change from v1.x to 2.x introduced some incompatibilities in APIs.
There is a backward compatibility jar but it does not solve all problems.

This result in failure even in "common" usages.

Shouldn't package be named  libquartz2-java to keep compatibility with
packages depending on previous version ? and as such supporting dual
versions ?
