It can be say %ghost %config file, populated at libgcj's %post time
(as well as %post of other packages).
Now, if you are storing full paths of shared libraries, I guess
it needs to live in /usr/$LIB/java/ somewhere (so that there are
separate 32-bit and 64-bit .db's on say x86-64, ppc*, s390* etc.).
Or do you have one .db instead with flags for which ABI a particular
library is (like say /etc/ld.so.cache has)?
