Okay, I worked on robert-hooke a bit more and managed to get it to install the
jar into the local maven repository. Unfortunately maven-repo-helper is buggy
(#709446) which causes this to fail if you build the package with the current
version in unstable, but this bug should be fixed (very) soon.

Using maven-repo-helper to install the jar into /usr/share/maven-repo/
actually turned out to be pretty easy. What we need though is a canonical .pom
for the jar in question and we have to make sure that our jar follow
upstream's naming conventions. The latter caused me to rename robert-hooke.jar
to hooke.jar...

Either way, once you got hold of a .pom (e.g. by running "lein pom" or by
looking in ~/.m2/repository/ or ...) for the jar in question you simply have
to:

1. Save the pom as debian/pom.xml
2. Add "--with jh_maven_repo_helper" in debian/rules
3. Add a $package.poms with "debian/pom.xml
   --usj-name=$name-of-the-jar-without-extension" as content.

And that should be all that is needed. Note that this doesn't work *right now*
due to the aforementioned bug.

Either way, please review robert-hooke and feel free to upload it if you deem
it ready. Maybe it is possible to grant me upload rights for robert-hooke too.
