lintian tries to bail completely for this tag on packages that use ant.
It's too hard to figure out what's needed and what isn't.  However, it
looks like that logic isn't working in your case for some reason.

Currently, lintian looks for:

    ^include\s*/usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/ant.mk

in debian/rules, and it looks like that's the problem and it should be
class/ant.mk instead.  I'll fix this for the next release of lintian.

Thanks for the report!
