I have already tried to do this in some packages---with the jars also.

The real files are kept with their upstream versioned names, and the
symlinks are the only thing renamed so as to not conflict with another
package.

Obviously, versioned names do not need to be changed in order to avoid a
file conflict so they can be treated the same as upstream.

By the way, I think that in Fedora's case they don't use symlinks at
all. For the jars and javadoc dir it's unversioned names only. In this
case, he is probably suggesting a versioned name only (with no
unversioned symlink).
