maven-debian-helper doesn't support --builddirectory. I've reported this
issue for maven-repo-helper (see #884088) but maven-debian-helper is
also affected.

You can get a look at the jaxrs-api package (or other similar JavaEE
packages), it also has it's main pom.xml in a subdirectory. debian/rules
looks like this:

  #!/usr/bin/make -f

  %:
  	dh $@ --buildsystem=maven

  override_dh_auto_build:
  	dh_auto_build -- -f jaxrs-api/pom.xml package

  override_dh_auto_test:
  	dh_auto_test -- -f jaxrs-api/pom.xml test

  override_dh_auto_install:
  	dh_auto_install -- -f jaxrs-api/pom.xml

  override_dh_auto_clean:
  	dh_auto_clean -- -f jaxrs-api/pom.xml clean
