Wookeys response (circular build-dependency) is not the reason here. We have two packages, maven-repo-helper with minimal dependency set which is a build dependency for many java packages and maven-debian-helper with a longer dependency list which is only used to create the files in debian/*. mh_make does not have automatic testing yet and is much work to test manually. This is mostly caused by the unnecessary dependency on maven to do something as trivial as filling templates for the debian/* files with appropriate values.
