I have rebuilt the same sources twice in a row with dh and cleaning worked but I don't mind the switch back to CDBS. Thanks for letting me know. I would like to make the following proposal though: We currently use CDBS as the default build system when someone creates the initial Debian directory with mh_make. I suggest to switch from CDBS to DH because I think it makes it easier for newcomers to modify maven based source packages. DH is widely used in Debian and people could easily use this knowledge for Maven based packages too. In general I think focusing on one build system simplifies the packaging process and you have synergy effects. One could also drop cdbs from Build-Depends and usually debian/rules is also very clear with DH. A typical template would look like this one: export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/default-java %: dh $@ --parallel --buildsystem=maven get-orig-source: uscan --download-current-version --force-download --no-symlink There is nothing wrong with CDBS per se but in my opinion DH is also more flexible in regard to overriding certain build steps. All in all it would reduce the complexity of packaging Java software a little since we already have to deal with javahelper, maven-repo-helper, maven-debian-helper, ant, maven and gradle. Thoughts?
