I haven't looked into that yet, but some questions first:

 - is the tool able to create source packages? and maybe
   differentiate here between pure source packages, and
   "source" packages just containing jar files?

 - is the tool able to build without fetching anything
   from random websites? e.g. to create a self-contained
   source repository?

These are two re-occurring issues when creating deb packages which can be 
uploaded to the Debian archives.
