I wonder whether we should add a virtual package

  Provides: libbiojava1-java

for BioJava 1.x versions and respectively either

  Provides: libbiojava3-java

or

  Provides: libbiojava-java

for 3.x versions.  This way we could easily Depend from libbiojava?-java
in other packages without always specifying the specific version number.

Kind regards

       Andreas.
