The major work is essentially equivalent to a rewrite (of the packaging).
Different jdk, build system, update management, policy, etc etc.
Pretty much the only things left will be the boilerplate (debian/copyright
files and such).

Removing the eclipse 3.2 from the archive would be fine with me, fwiw,
especially if it motivates anyone to contribute towards getting 3.5 in.
