John, the issue would require us to remove waf/ant and modify debian control files such that they can be packaged using maven (I think it may be a lot of work and I'm not clear how to approach it without using maven plugins, but dpkg-buildpackage).
The error seems like apidocs failed for you, this can help: mvn clean install -P developer mvn -P developer -pl tools/apidoc (this would create, tools/apidoc/target/commands.xml) and then try dpkg-buildpackage again, but this may fail somewhere else. For now, I would suggest you to use the 4.0 branch which works (https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Building#Building-Packaging).
