Bug#588005: Does antlr3 really requires maven ?

[Ludovic Claude]

This dependency is marked as required as gunit-maven-plugin is included 
in the main package. It would be better indeed to put gunit.jar and 
gunit-maven-plugin.jar in a separate package.

maven-debian-helper is not yet able to install the jars in several 
packages, I will try to fix that soon.
