Bug#994553: maven-debian-helper: provide autopkgtest runner

[Andrius Merkys]

Package: maven-debian-helper
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Andrius Merkys <merkys at debian.org>

Hello,

With this bug report I want to document my ongoing attempt to create an
autopkgtest runner for maven-built packages. The PR which would ideally
add the runner is here [1], and some more description of my thought
process is here [2]. As of now [3] the runner is already usable, but
certain projects with several interdependent artifacts still fail.
