I agree. I talked to Jazon van Zyl (Maven founder) recently at a java user group meeting and he told me that they do not really control the repository either. It is pretty much free for anybody to put stuff up there. Which explains the quality of some of the artifacts up there with broken poms and so on. Trying to control it initially proofed to be too much work. If the upstream projects does not control it I would suggest that Debian packaging not waste the time either.
