If the new input is also required at runtime, then I'm not sure this
package definition is correct.  I would normally expect a "runtime
dependency" to be either retained as a reference in the output, or
declared as a propagated-input (so that it gets installed alongside this
package when this package is installed into a profile).  Perhaps I am
missing some information here.

I'm hoping Ricardo can comment on how this is intended to work for Java
packages, since he originally added the ant-build-system.
