Which 3 of them?
I think mixing native and java code, especially in packages that are in
main and are autobuilt on all architectures is bad idea. I'd kill
libdcop3-java and libdcop3-jni and merge them in either qt or kde
packages (wherever they belong). This way you'd have 4 packages of
decent sizes and no archive space wasted for keeping multiple copies of
identical .jar files.
