Stepping into a mess getting confused when trying to make it non-native:

1. CDBS tarball would like a tarball in sun-javadb-10.3.2.1, without it
    I am not suprised to get stuff like

        dh_install -psun-javadb-client  build-tree/javadb/lib/derbyclient.jar 
usr/share/javadb/lib
        cp: cannot stat `./build-tree/javadb/lib/derbyclient.jar': No such file 
or directory

2. With a copy of sun-javadb_10.3.2.1.orig.tar.gz in sun-javadb-10.3.2.1,
    I get

        dpkg-source: warning: unknown information field 'Homepage' in input 
data in general section of control info file
        dpkg-source: warning: Version number suggests Ubuntu changes, but there 
is no XSBC-Original-Maintainer field
        dpkg-source: building sun-javadb using existing 
sun-javadb_10.3.2.1.orig.tar.gz
        dpkg-source: building sun-javadb in sun-javadb_10.3.2.1-0ubuntu1.diff.gz
        dpkg-source: warning: newly created empty file 
'sun-javadb_10.3.2.1.orig.tar.gz.cdbs-config_list' will not be represented in 
diff

    and then:

        dpkg-source: cannot represent change to 
sun-javadb_10.3.2.1.orig.tar.gz: binary file contents changed
        dpkg-source: warning: ignoring deletion of file CHANGES.html
        dpkg-source: warning: ignoring deletion of file RELEASE-NOTES.html
        ...
        dpkg-source: warning: ignoring deletion of file 
docs/pdf/ref/refderby.pdf
        dpkg-source: building sun-javadb in sun-javadb_10.3.2.1-0ubuntu1.dsc
        dpkg-source: unrepresentable changes to source

    booom!

With pbuilder I run into this one, regardless:

        dh_install -psun-javadb-client  build-tree/javadb/lib/derbyclient.jar 
usr/share/javadb/lib
        cp: cannot stat `./build-tree/javadb/lib/derbyclient.jar': No such file 
or directory

with orig.tar.gz, dsc and diff.gz in place.

There must be some fundamental I have missed, - tried googling, and all
FAQs and guides I know of...

Any pointers?

Thanks,
Lars
