Personally I trust the binaries for the kernel, OpenJDK, Maven etc. that I get from Ubuntu, and Maven Central for all the external dependencies a release candidate pulls down :)
BTW (I had a quick go at this) if you try to package Jena for Debian (the "proper" way to be included in the distro, not the /opt/jena way), then all Maven dependencies must also be from Debian packages, as the special mvn-debian command disallows downloading from Maven Central to force everything to be from Debian-built binaries. It's doable, at least for the core of Jena which has not got a lot of dependencies. Fuseki (which is also very interesting as a Debian package) would take some more effort. Elephas would be hard, as hadoop is not in Debian.
