Practically speaking you could just put it in /usr/lib because we will
never support multilib Java.
However, if you want to put it on /usr/lib64 on x86_64 to make the
filesystem prettier, take a look at how the javasqlite package does
it:

We just need to make the regular OpenJDK System.loadLibrary search
both locations.
