I think that no guideliens exist, there was some discussionon a fedora
java list, but I don't remember how it ended.

My personal opinion (and I think that some FPC members would agree) is 
that it is very wrong to put the JNI native libraries for java libs in 
/usr/lib. /usr/lib should be reserved for libraries that are linked
against with -lfoo, and unless I am wrong JNI libs are not linked
against but dlopened.
