I am curious why Rhino is under an MPL 1.1/GPL 2.0 dual license as 
opposed to the tri-license.

There's a large body of very useful Apache-licensed Java source out 
there, so non-trivial Java apps are likely to use some. Since the Apache 
licenses and GPLv2 are deemed incompatible by the FSF, the GPL option 
effectively vanishes leaving only MPL 1.1. And MPL is known to be a 
problem if one wants to get code in Debian...

Are there any plans to add the LGPL option to Rhino? (If GPLv3 indeed 
ends up being Apache License 2.0-compatible, the GPLv2 "or later" 
language will take care of this with time assuming that Debian approves 
of GPLv3.)

(I don't have an immediate need to get any particular code in Debian.)
