  Description     : An implementation of the OSGi metatype specification.

The OSGi Metatype specification provides a unified way to describe metadata
about services and a Java interface to retrieve and manipulate such
information. This information can optionally be localized, thus allowing the
developer to provide human-readable metadata descriptions in multiple
languages. The specification defines a rich dynamic typing system to describe
service attributes in a precise way, which makes it possible to dynamically
create user interfaces to configure services.

This package is a requirement for having an apache karaf debian package.  See
