FTR, I've already had some private discussion with Mat regarding this

I think that Mat feedback warrants the reworks of debian packaging

Niels already commented on API breakage w/ lucene2 + OSGi metadata, so I
won't add on this.
YMMV, but if you want this package to be sponsored by Debian Java Team,
you'll have to commit your package into
one of our repository. You have multiple options to acheive this :
1) You can merge your changes into existing SVN repository (won't be easy)
2) You can remove lucene3 and re-import your own
3) You can import your work into GIT repository and use git-buildpackage
(which seems trendy these days :)
