So far I was told on IRC that

which looks better than the current name so I'm going to change the 
metapackage name to libjackson2-core-java-dev

and also that:

> depends.
which conflicts with my goal of getting more autopkgtests especially 
with build tools and dependencies.

Right now I'm leaning more towards keeping the metapackages and 
contributing later to autopkgtests to automatically add the dependencies 
of the metapackage to the set of packages that triggers tests.

One last thing, I noticed this old RFP [1] for the parent POMs that are 
now shipped with libjackson2-core-java. Asking just in case, is there a 
possible use case for shipping there separately?

Cheers,
