Hi Daniel,

The answer about packaging standards and whether the package could enter
Debian is "no, but it's a decent start."  I was able to get it built,
noting the following.

* it has a build-dep on libre2-dev, which is currently only in experimental

* it is currently a native package, but should be easy to convert

* it's missing build-deps on: libboost-system, junit, ant-optional

* I had to edit the CMakeLists.txt to add "system" as a Boost component.

* the resulting -java and -dev debs look okay, but the actual runtime
deb is empty (no .so files)

* the build modifies one of the source files, and creates a few new ones.

It would be nice to have something that links against it to test with.

Cheers,
tony
