Good catch.  The latest upstream version of alter-sequence-alignment has
split these to an additional alter-lib.jar and the time of the build
failure of jmodeltest correlates with the upload of
alter-sequence-alignment 1.3.4-1.  But now the question is:  How to
teach the jmodeltest build system to use alter-lib.jar.  I think adding
it to debian/manifest[1] is needed to *run* jmodeltest but it surely
does not help at build time.  I have not found any place where the
build system specifies the needed jars. :-(

Any hint?

Kind regards

      Andreas.
