Of course we can - wget can do that... :-) A Debian user (building stuff for their own use) would expect Maven to work the same as it does elsewhere. How about this mini-plan for packaging Maven: Step 1. Package Maven for "use case 1" only, i.e., targetted for regular users, with functionality identical to upstream (as much as possible). Step 2. Implement any changes and extensions needed for building Debian packages with it. I suspect that Step 1 will take most of the effort.
