Either you have to allow a separate release cycle for that jar.
Or you have to release a new version of the jar with every LANG release.
The content will likely be identical for each one unless the Javadoc is tweaked.

Also if it uses the lang package name convention, would the package
name be changed with non-BC releases?
That would be annoying for downstream users.
If it does not use the LANG package naming, why is it bundled with LANG?

Maybe that does not matter, but it seems a bit silly to me when one
could release a stand-alone jar.
The annotations jar has much more in common with the build plugin than
a component.
We don't insist on bundling the build plugin with another component.
