yes. the Automatic-Module-Name is like a qualified jar name. All of the
packages in the jena-db project will be visible with Automatic-Module-Name:
org.apache.jena.db. You would not want to split the components of
`org.apache.jena.dboe` into separate modules, so it makes sense to unify them.
It generally seems to be coherent to align the module name with a top level
package name when there is one package tree per project. It might be advisable
to make a separate jar configuration for `org.apache.jena.tbd2` that has a
matching module name (if granularity is a requirement).
