*-auth should, IMHO, contain everything necessary to create an OAuth2 
connection to anything that isn't broken.  However, *-auth-facebook, 
*-auth-google, *-auth-herpDerpDeHur, etc may be useful to be full of 
convenience classes.

ON Android it may even be useful to have a *-auth-accountmanager to make 
working with Androids native token service easier.
