That's sad. BTW, I have no specific feeling whether to use Git or SVN.
So if confirm you would like to work on this package you prefer Git and
Steffen who has started the packaging does not insist moving it to Git
would be no problem at all.

May be you trapped into a pitfall I builded unintentionally here. While
this does not explain your later problem please note that the
get-orig-source target in this specific form requires a not yet packaged
uscan. The comments inside the debian/rules file will explain what to
do. I worked a bit on a more clever uscan which is able to remove files
mentioned in debian/copyright Files-Excluded. The discussion was done
on debian-devel list and the response was quite positive. However, we
are currently in freeze time - so features like this need to wait a bit.
I perfectly agree that this trick is a bit hackish. Ironically you
would not have run into this pitfall if we would have used Git with
pristine-tar. So either you will use the uscan that is linked to in
the comment of debian/rules or I could upload the original tarball I
was using. Unfortunately the new queue these days takes some time -
I uploaded at 20.11.2012 but it is not yet in unstable. Otherwise you
could download the source from there as well.

I guess I might need the full log (without the snip). There might be
some slight chance that the build target is not createt in case the
original jar files remain present. If you are reluctant to use the new
uscan you might simply remove all *.jar files from the original tarball
and create some fastqc_0.10.1+dfsg.orig.tar.gz (or .xz as I decided to
do.)

I admit I never seriosely used svn-buildpackage - so no advise from me
here, sorry. My workflow is
tar xaf <orig-tarball>
cd <orig-source-dir>
cp -a <path-to-svn>/debian .
find . -name ".svn" -type d | xargs rm -rf
pdebuild

In short:
1. use uscan from
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=users/tille/devscripts.git;a=blob;f=scripts/uscan.pl;hb=HEAD
to get the original tarball I used
2. if this fails please send full build log (or make it accessible
somewhere
3. lets consider using Git if problems remain
Thanks for working on this
Andreas.
