The impact this has from my POV is that once you could just install the
source package and the sources and javadocs for your JDK then show up
automatically in Eclipse which presumes that src.zip is in the same folder.

Now you require an extra step to get this useful resource (I make a
softlink as suggested).

Not sure if this counts as an Ubuntu problem in my case : the amd64 package
is not available in the repository. But source code isn't really an
architecture-dependent artefact and the previous packaging seems to make
more sense in this regard.
