Well, if we can agree on a sensible setup with ant-dev I really don't
think debian would choose another one without consulting at least
ant-dev.

That's very different from choosing a packaged setup when the original
project do not provide one.

(BTW at some point if we get agreement with ant-dev on some forme of
intergration I do expect se'll try to get debian approval)
