I've renamed the package to libsvn-java for the 1.4.0 release (not
released upstream yet), unless someone from the debian-java list (or
elsewhere) convinces me that this violates the spirit of the Java
Policy too much.  It does violate the letter of the law, if you read it
strictly, but the name 'libsvn-javahl-java' is ugly.

I hope 1.4.0 will make it into etch, though at the moment all I can see
ahead of us is the bleak prospect of getting caught in the middle of
the python 2.4 transition.  And that's assuming the perl FTBFS gets
fixed soon.
