I believe you've been beaten to the punch on these.

Check out the thread a bit ago on debian-devel at:

I announced an ITP on the combo of these two to the debian-java list
about three weeks ago. (Unfortuenately, debian-java is not currently
archived.)  You are welcome to join the debian-java list, and I'm sure I
wouldn't mind some extra help on the packages.  I'm waiting for Japhar
to release 0.08, which they say is "RSN".
