Well, I've got a very nice infrastructure in ofbiz for doing these jar
depends. It makes use of a custom java-shlibdeps and jar.shlibs file, to
automatically look for java symlinks, and automatically add java depends to
debs.
Also, all the components(24) in ofbiz are automatically split into separate
debs. I've only worked on the debian side of ofbiz since sunday, and it's
come along quite a bit.
Plus, upstream has been very receptive to all the patches I've sent.
