Hi Markus,

Thanks for giving it a look. However, it think that maven-debian-helper
should not be placing files against the policy by default. I usually use
mh_make for initial packaging, and now I see that most of my packages
are violating MUST of a policy because of that.

I took a quick look at my /usr/share/java, and these seems to be quite
some packages with versionless JARs and versioned symbolic links [1],
just to name a few (out of 125):

libantlr3-runtime-java
libcompress-lzf-java
libhttpclient-java
libmorfologik-stemming-java
libsurefire-java

Not sure though what is the impact of this policy inversion. Most of
Java-related software seems to read both regular files and symbolic
links transparently.

[1] $ comm -1 -2 <(find /usr/share/java/ -type l | grep -P
'[-][\.0-9]+\.jar$' | xargs -n1 dpkg -S | cut -d : -f 1 | sort) <(find
/usr/share/java/ -type f | grep -P '[-][^\.0-9]+\.jar$' | xargs -n1 dpkg
-S | cut -d : -f 1 | sort) | uniq

Best,
Andrius
