Why do you need Maven in main first? There shouldn't be any issues using
Maven's metadata to generate the control file nor generating a build.xml
file.

If we wanna use maven to build, we need maven in main. If we want to
extract metadata, we just need an xslt or some
perl/python/java/whatever xml parser.

No you don't. I meant that you can use Maven to generate the files and include in debian/. That way you can leverage the project's meta-data and start working on integration Maven into the build process until it is properly into main and those files can be generated build-time.
