Hi Charles,

thank you for pinging me. I've just spend three days on Debian work. Could you 
deal with it by updating to 2.5.0 and also set the maintainer to the java 
packaging team?

There's also a Git repo at 
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-java/gwt.git
The branch thkoch_patches contains commits to publish the maven artifacts.

I've also filled a bug at Gerrit and asked them to update to gwt 2.5
