Not working on it yet, but planning to do so. Hugo and Edison did a 
great job in getting all the RPM packages build with Maven, but also has 
to be done for the Debian/Ubuntu packages.

I want to pick this up, but in the coming weeks I'll be offline.

This week I'm at ApacheCon EU, so that doesn't help in terms of 
availability.

So, nobody is working on it at the moment, but I want to pick this up asap.
