Regarding the --has-package-version flag, my recommendation is to keep
it unless the version of the package doesn't match the version of the
pom. The versioned dependency added by maven-debian-helper is good for
ensuring consistent transitions to testing automatically (that is, if
libfoo-java requires libbar-java 2.0 but is ready before libbar-java for
a transition to testing, the versioned dependency holds libfoo-java in
unstable until libbar-java is ready to transition as well.).
