The Geonode team already packages Geoserver in a PPA using the war
wrapping method. That's where the idea comes from to begin with.
https://launchpad.net/~geonode/+archive/release

I think they only have Goeserver 2.2 though for Geonode authentication
compatibility issues.

GeoTools and JTS might have potential to be Debian compliant packages as
they are underlying libraries of many other applications.
