We have to talk to JPackage guys who are working very hard and making a
really good job (about 1000 binary packages!) to set up something like a
central package description repository. I'll try to collect the email
and have something setup (but I don't know where to do that ATM). There
are some pages on the Wiki about that:
http://java.debian.net/index.php/CommonJavaPackaging
I'll write some of my ideas on this page as soon as possible and will
post a mail on -java about this.

Cheers,
