Hi,

I'm experiencing random failures while building hdf5 for unstable using
sbuild. Starting with javahelper 0.72.4, the debian/rules clean target
randomly reports:

make[1]: Leaving directory '/<<BUILDDIR>>/hdf5-1.10.5+repack'
   dh_autoreconf_clean
   jh_clean
Unknown option: l
Unknown option: b
Usage: jh_build [options]

  jh_build is a part of debhelper. See debhelper(7)
  and jh_build(1) for complete usage instructions.

This failure occurs about one time in two.

The clean target doesn't fail despite this error, but subsequent calls to
jh_build fail the very same way, causing hdf5 to FTBS.

This behavior occurs only when I use DH_OPTION="-N..." to skip some binary
packages:

$ DH_OPTIONS="-Nlibhdf5-openmpi-103" jh_clean                                                                                         
Unknown option: l
Unknown option: b
Usage: jh_build [options]

  jh_build is a part of debhelper. See debhelper(7)
  and jh_build(1) for complete usage instructions.

I can somewhat reproduce it on another java packages. For example mac-widgets:
(unstable-amd64-sbuild)/<<BUILDDIR>>/mac-widgets-0.10.0+svn416-dfsg1$ DH_OPTIONS="-Nlibmac-widgets-java" jh_clean
Unknown option: l
Unknown option: b
jh_build: warning: ignored unknown options in DH_OPTIONS

But in this case jh_build states it ignores DH_OPTIONS content.

Release 0.72.2 of javahelper is OK.

Thanks,

_g.
