If you modify config file, then how are you going to restore your (modified)
config from package contents?

Have to? Theoretically older Javas could use existing (non-FHS compliant)
location, but Java 9 could use the new location.

I don't see any fundamental change here. You would just move config files from
/usr to /etc and leave symlinks where config files used to be. No functional
changes, but you gain FHS compliance.

> If we agreed on this, are you ok with simply symlinks?

Yes, symlinks are perfectly fine.
