Another way to find the source packages depending on Ant is to use the
build-rdeps command (from the devscripts package) :

  commons-configuration
  commons-daemon
  commons-httpclient
  commons-io
  commons-javaflow
  commons-jci
  commons-math
  commons-math3
  commons-pool
  libcommons-attributes-java
  libcommons-cli-java
  libcommons-codec-java
  libcommons-collections3-java
  libcommons-compress-java
  libcommons-digester-java
  libcommons-el-java
  libcommons-jexl-java
  libcommons-jxpath-java
  libcommons-lang-java
  libcommons-launcher-java
  libcommons-modeler-java
  libcommons-net1-java
  libcommons-net2-java
  libcommons-net-java
  libcommons-openpgp-java
  libcommons-validator-java

Some of them can be ignored, because they contain an old version of a
commons components, or a dormant component that won't evolve anymore:

  commons-httpclient -> Old httpclient, to be removed
  commons-math -> Math 3.x is in src:commons-math3
  libcommons-attributes-java -> dormant
  libcommons-collections3-java -> 4.x in libcommons-collections4-java
  libcommons-digester-java -> Old 1.x line, 2.x not packaged yet
  libcommons-lang-java -> Lang 3.x is in libcommons-lang3-java
  libcommons-launcher-java -> dormant, unused in Debian
  libcommons-modeler-java -> dormant component
  libcommons-net{1,2}-java -> Latest version is libcommons-net-java
  libcommons-openpgp-java -> dormant sandbox component


A word on Ant vs Maven usage in Debian: at some point in time it was
possible to build the Maven dependencies with Ant. That was necessary to
bootstrap Maven in Debian. This is no longer true today and Maven can be
used to build its own dependencies. So from the Debian point of view it
should be ok to remove all Ant builds from the Commons components.
