No it won't, because the classes in the jakarta artifact are in the
jakarta.* package, not javax.*, so you would have to patch the Java files
to change the import statements.

The easiest solution is to depend on libgeronimo-validation-1.1-spec-java
and use this substitution rule:

  s/javax.validation/org.apache.geronimo.specs/ s/validation-api/geronimo-validation_1.1_spec/ * s/.*/debian/ * *

That's what the eclipselink package does for example:
