Judging by the changelog for Eclipse in Ubuntu Karmic, it's about to go
into production:
eclipse (3.5.1-0~ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low
* Fix build failure on lpia.
* For anything else kudos to the eclipse-team.

* New upstream release. (LP: #123064)
- Supports xulrunner-1.9.1 (Closes: #538871, #507536)
* Converted build system to use eclipse-build. (Closes: #501533)

Yes, I would love to, and was going to compose a mail to this effect
anyway, so your mail links nicely to what I was going to say. I wanted
to use the Mylyn, pydev and svn plugins the other day and discovered
that they are not yet packaged. CDT is another I may be interested in
down the line.
I'd love to contribute a package, but frankly I wouldn't know where to
start. Is there any possibility that someone with the requisite
knowledge could talk some potential contributors through the process on
IRC? A bit like the OpenWeek sessions, but targeted directly at
building Eclipse plugin packages? If that knowledge can be passed on to
a few people, we can each then help other people who show an interest
and hopefully each contribute a package or two, to spread the load.
Cheers,
JT
