Of course! I didn't know about that way of doing it.

Merging is not the right term. My goal was to fix the FTBFS for 0.7-1. Debian already had 0.7.1-1 which fixes the iText lib compatibility issue but also FTBFS (see below).

jh_depends fails on gsalliere, this is due to the fact that gsalliere's jar file's manifest refers to /usr/share/salliere/salliere-0.7.1.jar which has just been built but is not installed at the time jh_depends is called.
As gsalliere doesn't have dependencies other than salliere, I changed the call to jh_depends so it is only effective on salliere making ${java:Depends} not substituted anymore for gsalliere, which explains why I dropped it.

Maybe there's another way to go, what would you suggest? Can I make salliere a specific Build Dep for gsalliere?

Didn't notice that, I'll fix it in the next debdiff.
