Hi Markus, Great! So the project in question is OpenRefine: https://github.com/OpenRefine/OpenRefine
So far we only distribute a Linux package as a .tar.gz that people can just extract and run (assuming they have Java installed). We ship all the jars of our dependencies there. The project is built with Maven. It is not clear to me to what extent a Debian packaging project lends itself to fixed-term contracting, since maintaining the package will require continued work as we release new versions. Perhaps the project could include some mentoring of the upstream maintainers to assist with the packaging if possible? Or some provision to maintain the package for a few years, assuming most of the work lies in the initial packaging?
