There's something called galternatives, a front end to
update-alternatives, but it's dead upstream.

I'd like to have something like dh_shlibsdeps for java apps, and use
something like "Depends: ${java:Depends}" on the debian/control file

That sounds great :D

Integrate all of the distros Bug Tracking Systems in a common framework
looks like a big job, maybe we can work on a common interface showing
the information taken from every bug tracking tool. BTS has a SOA
interface and a LDAP gateway where all of the Bugs information is
stored, I'm not sure how the others Bug tracking tools works.
Maybe we can discuss some details about the Debian Webapps Policy[0] and
Java
