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.
I don't like the idea of generating those files at build time. But maybe I don't understand what you mean. Anyway, tools used to generate and build debian package are in main so if we want to include maven calls in those scripts, we need maven to be in main. -- Arnaud Vandyck
