Usually it just works, but there are some corner cases. We have several multi modules projects already packaged that you can use as examples (maven, javamail, activemq, jetty9, antlr4, wagon...). Sometimes when the packaging type is 'bundle' instead of 'jar' it's necessary to either patch the pom dependencies and specify explicitly the 'bundle' type, or patch the poms and change the type to 'jar'. Also some builds expect the artifacts of the other modules to be installed in the local repository (because they do obscure manipulations like injecting source files from another module into the current one), so in this case you have to override dh_auto_build and call the Maven 'install' phase (instead of 'package' by default).
