Few comments from the top of my head:

* Using perl script to unpack a zip and copy it to proper place is IMO overkill, it can be done inside rules file.

* EPL is a "good" license and we don't need to accept it explicitly. Otherwise the same dialog would need to appear for Eclipse itself.

* Depends must contain either one of the Java SVN clients that subclipse uses (libsvn-javahl, svnkit).

* The schema for naming the Eclipse plugin packages is eclipse-<product> like eclipse-cdt, eclipse-pydev.

* Must go to multiverse since it is an all-binary package.

* Binary deb package contains javahl.win32.jar, which is completely useless on Ubuntu.

* It might be a good idea to discus this kind of package at #debian-java, #ubuntu-java or debian-java mailing-list. The overall effort is to make Ubuntu and Debian Java as close as possible.

* There is (currently broken) source package for subclipse at http://debian-eclipse.wfrag.org/tracpy/ . You might want to ask its author for current status.

Anyway, Stephane, thank you for your work, I would love to see svn support (either subclipse or subversive) for Eclipse in Ubuntu.
