Sadly, I haven't had time to get to OGRS2009 [0] because I was busy with 
LSM/RMLL2009 [1] (also in Nantes, France). Perhaps it was a good opportunity 
to discuss packaging with some members of OpenJump community.

I don't know OpenJump internals enough, but with your informations it seems 
packaging 1.3 upstream release will be a tedious task.

May be, as a short term plan, just fix #500535 [2] (completes migration to
libjdom1-java) in OpenJump 1.0 to get rid of JDOM 0.x and then work between 
pkg-grass and pkg-java Debian teams to package OpenJump 1.3 upstream release 
(with all its dependencies).

Thanks for your help :)
