As I was reading the replies to this thread I actually thought of
"java-gstreamer-java" too before I saw Laurie's suggestion. It does
sound a bit silly but it makes sense at the same time if gstreamer-java
can only be meaningfully used by Java. With the current packaging
guidelines, the "<language>-" prefix makes it instantly clear that the
packages is a libarary/modules/etc of that language and not a
stand-alone/front-end application. This is very useful in the absence
of clear categories or tags when a user is browsing the list of
available packages.

Perhaps we can all agree that the best solution is to use the name
"gstreamer-java", which is quite clear as Aaron pointed out, but put
"java-gstreamer" and "java-gstreamer-java" in the provides array for
the sake of uniformity.

To be honest, I'm not really bothered either way and I only asked about
the name originally because I was unaware that the upstream name was
"gstreamer-java".
