Fortunately debhelper and javahelper understand about ant - see [1]. For more information on what javahelper can do I recommend you install the package and take a look at the documentation in [2] - as well as automatically detecting the build.xml file it can do pretty much everything that the linux-install.sh script does. Javahelper should also be able to generate a basic package for you - see man jh_makepkg. You may need to patch the build.xml to use Ubuntu provided Java libraries rather than any bundled versions of libraries - I took a quick look through the build.xml file and it looks like the package builds for multiple platforms so you will probably need to patch some of that out as well (see the Ubuntu Packaging Guide [4] for more help). I would also recommend you read the Debian Java policy (see [3]) - it lays out where Java files should be placed for applications and libraries and generally provides some good advice. As Ubuntu is derived from Debian its important that we follow the same packaging policies. Hope that helps - if you have any questions you can normally find me in #ubuntu-motu on Freenode IRC.
