There is an old one by Brian Jones.

I don't know that much about packaging. For Debian packages I believe
they want to do their debian control files themselves and don't like to
have them in the upstream sources. I don't know what the conventions are
for rmp packages. But it seems a good idea in general. There are a
couple of packages that can then depend directly on a classpath package.

Cheers,
