Which package should provide the versionless .jar file?

Is the versionless .jar file needed at all?

Was any of libjackson-json-java's reverse dependencies[1] broken when
the versionless .jar was removed from the package?

epubcheck seems to be fine because it has
/share/java/jackson-core-asl.jar, /usr/share/java/jackson-mapper-asl.jar
in its classpath.

Would any of libjackson2-core-java's reverse dependencies[2] break if we
removed the versionless .jar from the package? At least mediathekview
would break. I think things should be left as they are, only proper
Breaks/Replaces as suggested by the submitter should be added. I will
upload a fixed package tonight.

dogtag-pki is a curious case: pki-server depends on parts of both
Jackson 1.x and 2.x. Is this actually correct?
