Thank you. Here are my observations:
- libxmltooling-java is missing a build dependency on
libjcip-annotations-java
- libshib-parent-project2-java seems to be a snapshot from the trunk, is
it really the version 1? If so it should install a version '1' and a
version 'debian' in /usr/share/maven-repo, and not TRUNK-SNAPSHOT
- libxmltooling-java fails to build with the version of BouncyCastle
currently in sid (1.49). It will need some patching.

You can ignore this warning, most of the time the classpath is useless.

Yes, because you have three conflicting rules. This one preserves the
version, you should remove it:
org.opensaml xmltooling jar * * *
Keep only this one:
org.opensaml xmltooling jar s/.*/debian/ * *

If you can't fix that with a Maven rule you can simply patch the pom to
replace the ${xerces.groupId} variable with 'org.apache.xerces'.

No need to do a NMU. You can upload a regular update from the Java Team.

Usually we simply ignore the parent poms, but this one doesn't look
trivial, so a dedicated package probably makes sense.
