Hi Joerg,

I'm placing the Debian OpenJDK team on CC: as well as the Fedora
package maintainer of PyLucene.

PyLucene needs libjvm.so and libjava.so. These libraries are inside OpenJDK
but are not currently exposed to the dynamic loader.

My question is: what do I have to do to get the package accepted into Debian?

  * You just rejected putting entry in ld.so.conf.d
  * http://wiki.debian.org/RpathIssue says not to use rpath for this
  * LD_LIBRARY_PATH is unworkable; pylucene is a python library, not
    an executable that could be wrapped in a shell script

Would you be willing to reconsider your position on ld.so.conf.d? Or do you
have another suggestion? The Fedora folks are modifying OpenJDK package
to expose libjvm.so and libjava.so to the dynamic linker (via ld.so.conf.d).
Would you consider that acceptable?
