Using dependencies that are already packaged in debian would just be a
configuration step. I'm expecting the final and intermediate artifacts
to be placed in maven repository (folder in maven repository format).
Since some java libraries are installed on the local filesystem in
maven repository format already (/usr/share/maven-repo), we could
simply copy that to a temporary location and point to it as the built
repository. There are a few details to work out yet, but I wouldn't
expect it to too far from this.
