Benoit Joly has orphan log4j, I'm not sure he's still interested in
Maven.

You can also refer to this page where I did preliminary work:

Don't forget you need to build maven from sources with libraries
existing in Debian (not the one provided by upstream!)... so you need
first to identify all the libs used by Maven and then package them for
Debian if they are not yet.

For any java package in Debian, you can find useful tips at the pkg-java
Alioth's project:
http://pkg-java.alioth.debian.org/
