I do not see why the way the packaging used to work all these years could 
not be kept unchanged.

The only issues that were pointed out were related to the Java TCK (that it 
takes too long to run on every build, and that sometimes system libraries 
cause failures in some obscure test that are hard to debug), to which the 
obvious answer is to just stop running it and call the package something 
other than the current java-*-openjdk. (My understanding as a non-lawyer is 
that it should be enough to change the package Name and the Summary and 
%description. The java-*-openjdk name could still be Obsoleted/Provided, and 
the binaries do not have to be renamed either.)
