While it technically is not a duplicate, it more or less is just two packages combined into one. I wouldn't add it and would instead coordinate with the jre/jdk maintainer so that those packages can be kept up to date. Alternately, apply to be a TU and keep the packages up to date yourself, if he's willing to orphan them for you.
