I don't think gcj-endorsed is the right place for this. In

I just tried the latest java-gcj-compat (62) rpm and are you suggesting
moving the bcprov jar there? Currently, if it's not in
/usr/share/java/gcj-endorsed, then gcj cannot find it. Note, this is
where jessie and gnu-crypto are already and bc is no different as far as
I can see.
Also, some of the symlinks in /usr/share/java/gcj-endorsed are
versioned, while others are not. What is the policy here?
Should gcj be searching java.ext.dirs recursively? It doesn't do
that
today, but from the way bouncycastle is installed, I'm guessing it
should.
I am not sure what the specs say. In my updated package, I use only
%{_javadir}, so this becomes a non-issue. Remember, nothing ever used
the /usr/share/java-ext directory explicitly, so we never ran into the
issue, even on the proprietary stacks.
