Strictly speaking no one can force you to use a specific helper tool and
the Java Policy will be carefully worded to not mandate the use of
javahelper.
That being said, it is our intended to make javahelper support these
transition rules for you, so you do not have to code it yourself (just
as debhelper/CDBS handles a lot of trivial stuff for you).
Speaking of the Policy - I assume we want these transition rules listed
in the policy?
