The tooling already exists:
If the project contains already POM files, run mh_make -ant on the
source tree, it will generate the necessary files in the Debian
repository, then you will have to merge the generated rules file with
the existing one.
If the project doesn't contain POM files, then you will have to download
them (from mvnrepository.com or repository.sonatype.org) and install
them in the debian repository.
You need to add the file <package>.poms that contains the list of POM
files in your project (or run mh_make or mh_lspoms to generate it),
then modify debian/rules to deploy the jar and the POM metadata during
the install or post-install step of the build.
- use mh_installpoms to deploy the POM files into the Maven repository
- use mh_installjar to deploy the jar files into the Maven repository
(there are variants, such as using mh_linkjar or creating the link yourself)
Again, most of the work should have been done if you have run mh_make
