AIUI this >>> is a known issue with maven based projects.. I would like to organize the effort to get Dogtag 10 ported to Debian. I know that there are a lot of dependencies needed for this to happen. I can create and maintain a wiki page to track all of the work that is needed to get this porting done. Do you have a list of Dogtag 10 dependencies that are not currently packaged for Debian that I can use as a starting point? Once we have a clear outline of what is needed, we can start trying to divide up and schedule the work.

Do you have more details on the maven issue you were running up against?
