[2] Your other alternative is to download and checkout the sources directly from git which is explained at [1]. You can follow the tips at [3] to create a useful get-orig-source target for Debian, if you package directly from git. In general I would use the provided source tarball from upstream. If you are unsure, better talk to upstream. The source tarball contains a pom.xml file. If you run mh_make from maven-debian-helper in the root directory, you can create the initial Debian packaging for geotools. The rest is to figure out which libraries are already in Debian or need packaging.
