Hopefully we will have something like auto*, pkg-config etc in the java world too some day. It seems to be very usual for upstreams to include all the dependencies inside their source packages but the Linux distributions would appreciate if you also distributed a src tarball without these dependencies to save bandwidth and disk space. Packages are not going to use the bundled stuff.
