As a person who drives his developers nuts about these things on a regular 
basis, I think a single search package for all of the modules is good here.  
Users of these classes dislike when ipmort names change and probably don't 
care where they come from (in terms of original developer) to begin with.

And there's no law that says Pylucene can't be a superset of Java Lucene. ;)
