I agree with you, and more since I try also to make a forward backport (same package name but direct java5 classes). But it was not feasable (it takes me 1 day to figure out). As Holger said, there is so many classes with a lot of dependencies such that it is quite impossible (at least in a reasonable time). I think like peter, removing the prefix is very quick, not so difficult, just need to recompile then, and with Eclipse it takes about 5 minutes...
