But we have a problem in that the jpackage maintainers and the Fedora
maintainers won't always be the same.  There may be some Fedora
maintainers that aren't interested in participating in jpackage at all.

If FESCo mandated that all java packages have to go through jpackage
before entering Fedora that might address this issue.  Is that what we
want to propose?
