Title:
  Enable OpenJDK update through uscan

Status in openjdk-7 package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  In order to make OpenJDK 7 updates easier uscan/watch file should be
  enabled.

  The OpenJDK 7 package is comprised of tarballs for IcedTea, JamVM,
  IcedTea sound, and OpenJDK modules (the OpenJDK "root", corba,
  hotspot, jaxp, jaxws, jdk, and langtools).

  Both IcedTea and IcedTea-sound provide a PGP signature while the
  tarballs for OpenJDK modules and JamVM do NOT provide a PGP signature
  upstream.

  Fortunately - IcedTea can do a sha256 checksum on both OpenJDK modules
  and JamVM tarballs if they are kept pristine. Additionally the OpenJDK
  modules would have to be uncompressed in a specific tree format, which
  is not supported by MUT. Given those restrictions it is better to pack
  these pristine tarballs inside their own orig tarball.

  The proposed format is:
  - keep the icedtea tarball pristine as the orig tarball file.
  - keep the icedtea-sound tarball pristine as the "orig-icedtea-sound" module tarball.
  - use a script (debian/repack) to download the OpenJDK modules + JamVM and put their tarballs under a single "orig-drops" module tarball.
