Well, I just made the experience that sometimes cdbs simply conflicts
with dh (I do not remember whether buildvars.mk is amongst those
conflicting parts) but if it is only because of the definition of
$(DEB_SRCDIR) you could probably use $(CURDIR) (which also resolves to
"." as well as $(DEB_SRCDIR) if I'm not totally wrong and miss the point
inside some Java helpers. If this is the only reason I would replace
the cdbs stuff by $(CURDIR) (just tested the build) - but I definitely
respect your decision to stick with cdbs. I just want to know that you
really mean what you wrote.

Fine for me if this is Java packaging group policy.

Thanks.

As I said - I have some real interest in this package.
BTW, now lintian claims:
W: libitext5-java-doc: debian-changelog-line-too-long line 3
and I think it should be noted somehow that the increase of
the Standards-Version did not neded any further change in the
packaging. I use to write something like
* Updated standards version to 3.9.2 (no changes needed)
Thanks for your quick response. I promise I'll upload your next version
respecting the decision you have drawn. There is no real need to
follow my arguing - I just wanted to give some points to think about.
Kind regards
Andreas.
