Indeed, that looks like a bug in libcommons-lang3-java or rather maven-debian-
helper to me. I have just checked some other Maven packages and there the
policy is implemented correctly. The bug in libcommons-lang3-java could be
related to the relocation feature in the poms file but I haven't looked closer
yet.
