Here you are:

This is step 1, the list of all Maven packages ⇒ Debian package name.
It doesn’t go as far as to map Java packages or even classes… yet.
For this I’d have to download all those packages, extract them and
look into the JARs. I’d prefer some central service to offer archive
contents if possible (diffoscope already extracts archives anyway).
