The trigger I had in mind was associated with the installation of a Java
library containing Maven artifacts. Whenever an artifact is installed
under /usr/share/maven-repo, the trigger would generate or update the
metadata files. If the trigger is installed by maven-debian-helper it
won't generate the metadata of the libraries already installed.

Actually I added the metadata with the assumption that the system
repository was used as a local repository copied at build time instead
of a remote repository since that's how maven-debian-helper operates
currently.

Great, let me know when it's ready to be merged.
Regarding the plan, we'll also have to transition maven-ant-helper to
Maven 3.
