If your package is not aimed at the official Debian repository I would
encourage you to look at jdeb [1] instead. It's much easier to integrate
with a Java project and it works nicely with Maven, Ant or Gradle.

If you want to use artifacts from the /usr/share/maven-repo repository
you can define a repository in your pom.xml:

  <repositories>
    <repository>
      <id>debian</id>
      <name>Debian System Repository</name>
      <url>file://usr/share/maven-repo</url>
    </repository>
  </repositories>

And when you want to pull a dependency from the system repository you
specify it with the 'debian' version instead of the numeric version. For
example:

  <dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.santuario</groupId>
    <artifactId>xmlsec</artifactId>
    <version>debian</version>
  </dependency>
