I agree that this is also my prefered solution but if the package say
libsnappy1.0.3-java
should be maintained in addition to libsnappy-java ... but without an
epoch IMHO, because these are distinct packages without a common
history. Or am I missing something?

I do not see any reason for a conflict if the file names are different.

IMHO the only thing what we need to do in picard-tools is changing the
class dependencies from snappy.jar to snappy1.0.3.jar which should do
the trick.
I tried something along this path and created
git://git.debian.org/debian-med/snappy1.0.3-java.git
However, when doing so I noticed that all downloadable versions
snappy-java-1.0.3.[1-3].tar.gz are unfortunately NOT featuring our
target class LoadSnappy. I wonder whether somebody could contact
picard-tools upstream again what exact version they are using (and
perhaps nagging again that finally using unmaintained code is definitely
not a good idea - beeing angry about ABI changes or not.)
Kind regards
Andreas.
