I've now have a working package that is at step 5, ie. at the same level
as the fpm package I've been using up until now.

Improvments wrt. the fpm package:
 1. Built from the apache karaf src tar-ball instead of the binary
    tar-ball
 2. Built using the standard debian packaging tools

It's also a bit simpler.  I used the systemd template of the karaf
distribution as a basis for the systemd file (so now the KARAF_DATA
directory actually works the way it was supposed to do).

I also wrote the maintscripts from scratch, making them a lot simpler
than the ones in the fpm package.
