              Good to have this clarified.  However java packages
              don't appear to

              follow this convention.  eg:

              
              antlr3-java-1:3.5.2-2.fc21.noarch

              plplot-java-0:5.10.0-11.fc21.i686

              R-java-0:3.1.2-1.fc21.x86_64

              tzdata-java-2014j-1.fc21.noarch

              
              Does this mean we need to rename all Java subpackages?

            
            All language binding sub-packages are named this way,
              no? (subversion-perl, plplot-ada, xen-ocaml, etc)

              
              But doesn't this guideline refer to naming the base
              package, not sub-packages? Does it need clarifying
              further?

              
    The package == SRPM in this context. It does not apply for
    subpackages. Use of -perl, -ruby and -java suffixes for specific
    language bindings is well established practice.

    
    But this might be just my opinion :)
