Hi Eugene,

Which jars (from which debian packages) did you move to the local maven repo? 
By local maven repo mean the repo at /usr/share/maven-repo?

If there are jars in /usr/share/java which are not also present in 
/usr/share/maven-repo then this is most likely an issue of the respective 
Debian package. Please fill a bug against the debian package in this case so 
that somebody can update the package to provide maven artifacts.

You can find out the debian package of some file with

dpkg -S /usr/share/java/XXX.jar

Then file a bug against the package with reportbug, asking to install 
artifacts to the maven repo.
