Only libreadline-java is affected right now since that's the only 
package that I found adhering to the policy.

So far, all the packages fail in one of two ways: either the package 
doesn't work with build-classpath, or it doesn't adhere to the policy.

I would tend to agree, but the tools have not been updated to support 
this configuration. The choice seems to be to change either the tools or 
any of the packages to conform to the packaging guidelines.

As it stands now, I am more concerned with breaking existing 
build-classpath invocations then following the policy since F10 is 
almost frozen and nothing is consistent.

Left as-is, you will just get four packages with four different 
policies, and some of these may break existing builds or scripts.
