maven-debian-helper without cdbs?

[Thomas Koch <thomas@koch.ro>]

Hi,

could you please point me to any package that uses maven-debian-helper without 
cdbs but with debhelper, so that I can learn how it's done?
I tried to use the *.substvars file generated by mh_make, but dpkg-
buildpackage complains all the time that it could not parse ${maven:Depends}.
I tried to name the substvars file in different ways BINPACKAGE.substvars, 
SOURCEPACKAGE.substvars, substvars, but no success.

Do I understand it right, that the substvars file should not be in the source 
package but autogenerated on every build?

Thank you,
