RFC: First attempt to package BaseX XML Database

[Alexander Holupirek <alex@holupirek.de>]

Hi,

i tried to package 'BaseX - An XML Database' [1],[2] for Debian and produced a first set of package files that can be found on 

	http://www.inf.uni-konstanz.de/dbis/basex/debian/index.php

The maven-*-helper tools from Ludovic Claude were of great help. Thanks for those!

Since this is my first packaging experience, I would like to ask for some comments if I could improve something before I try to find a sponsor.

The package provides:

$ apt-cache show basex

 XPath/XQuery processor, including support for the latest W3C Full Text and
 Update Recommendations. It supports large XML instances and offers a highly
