This sounds like you are confusing a few things about packaging for Debian. A get-orig-source target is solely for the purpose to retrieve the original upstream sources and (in some cases) to repack and rid them of non-free files. It is not intended to create a Debian compliant package but to ease the retrieval of the original sources. > 2- Using maven-debian-helper > I tried to run (mh_make) but there are many missing dependencies!. > > > I hope to get some suggestions and systematic approach to solve this issue. > If your software uses the Maven build system then maven-debian-helper is the appropriate tool to create a Debian package. Inspect your pom.xml file and install all build-dependencies manually. Then run mh_make. If mh_make chokes because it can't find some of the dependencies, try to ignore it. Don't try to run the tests and javadoc targets which will simplify the package creation a little. If you need further help I suggest to post the output of mh_make somewhere and please post a link to your upstream project. Regards, Markus
