Could we have a new package that installs a symlink to the ivy jar in a location that ant can use?

Bug Description
Currently install both ant and ivy and try to use ivy on a ant script without setting a special classpath and it spits out:
This appears to be an antlib declaration.
This appears to be an antlib declaration.
Action: Check that the implementing library exists in one of:
-a directory added on the command line with the -lib argument
What people 'do' is to copy the ivy.jar to one of those dirs.
Two options for fixing this:
ant install installs a special ivy package /usr/share/ant/lib, the old ivy package is end-of-lifed for those projects that are using ivy without ant? Considering ivy _is_ a ant plugin, maybe not many at all?
installing the ivy package places a symlink from ivy.jar to /home/foo/.ant/lib
