Hi Emmanuel,

Thanks for this feedback

When I search for Debian Java mvn packaging, Google had referred me to
this wiki:

   https://wiki.debian.org/Java/MavenRepoHelper

which suggested using libplexus-io-java as an example. That is using
maven-ant-helper

I don't mind changing my packages to use the maven-debian-helper, but I
will look at that next time I update them.

Regards,

Daniel
