Well done Markus! This is an important update.

These are new features of bnd 2.x or things already packaged in Debian?

What about patching bnd to also support the old '-foo' syntax in
addition to the new '--foo' form? That should be easy if the semantic
hasn't changed.

There are 29 direct dependencies on bnd, plus 57 indirect ones through
libmaven-bundle-plugin-java, we'll have to test them all. If the
compatibility is good I think upgrading the existing bnd package is a
good idea, but if we get many issues we should probably create a new
package.
