Maven automatically downloads the dependecies needed to build the
package from the perfsonar package repository, so this can make life a
lot easier. Also the maven pom file is much less complex than a ant
build file.

You can do a "chown tomcat55 <file>" the debian/postrm script which is
run after installation of the package. There are examples postrm scripts
in the repository.
