The longer explanation: the upstream build.xml often needs patching to be usable for Debian packaging. Whenever the patch got bigger than a home grown build.xml I've switched to my own file because maintaining patches was not as easy in the past. Today I prefer using the upstream build system. Maintaining patches got easier thanks to gbp-pq that I use even with svn hosted packages. Patches can often be kept small by setting properties in debian/ant.properties. And using Maven is much easier now thanks to Ludovic. If using the upstream build system is too difficult I recommend using javahelper or maven-ant-helper.
