First of all thanks for trying something new and improving our tool chain! How is mh_shlibdeps different from our current approach in maven-debian-helper? I mean ${maven:Depends} already exists and works as expected, maven-debian-helper scans the pom.xml file and injects runtime dependencies into this substvar. > "mh_genlaunchers" generates a Java program launcher script based on a > "<package>.maven-launchers" file.

Maybe if we could integrate it into maven-debian-helper build-depending on javahelper would be unnecessary in this case? Regards, Markus
