I also believe the benefits outweight the cost of having another package
in the archive.  We may want to iterate over policy frequently, and do
so without triggering upgrades for every installed copy of java-common.
In that case, a separate package may take a bit more disk on the
mirrors, but it could also result in less overall network bandwidth.

It would also be nice if the policy package was named something
obvious, like java-policy. :)
