Hello,
  Thanks for trying java-gnome. Hoe you like it.

/usr/lib is for files installed by the distribution you are using.
/usr/local is for things you installed separately. It is part of the
FHS, I think.
In Debian java policy, java-gnome libs are placed in /usr/lib/jni/

Again, I think the chosen directory is the best.

Java-gnome is available in the main Debian distribution. rpms are
available and will be on the main java-gnome website (or at least linked
from there) very soon.
