I think the project.build.sourceEncoding property is not honored in Wheezy (older Maven plugins). Try disabling the tests by turning maven.test.skip to true in debian/maven.properties.
Changing this property according to the value of DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS is a good improvement idea for maven-debian-helper. Emmanuel Bourg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
