Doesn't this need maven-support ? Is there a way to tell
maven "fetch the deps, and put them somewhere" ?
If we ask upstream to provide support for this feature ?

Do you suggest patching maven for the needed features ?

A Uses/maven.mk sounds non-trivial, but very, very useful, if
it covers the generic use-case of maven-built ports.
