Maven is not a 'better tool' than make. It's deeply unhelpful 'web age' craziness that is handy for developers, but antithical to security, consistency and repeatable builds (the sort of things that distro builders worry about, for good reasons). Maven makes ant look good. Building with 'whatever crap I got off the internet today' is not a good way to go IHMO, and so far as I can tell, that's exactly what maven does, at least by default.
