Package: javahelper
Version: 0.28
Severity: normal

When using jh_makepkg to create the debian directory for a java library
I noticed the following problems with options passed to it:

If I run jh_makepkg with --default as one of the options 
I get: "Invalid option: default". If I omit the --default option then I
am asked to choose.

If I set --maintainer="Daniel Thomas" --email="drt24-debian at srcf.ucam.org"
then I get "Maintainer: Daniel Thomas <Daniel Thomas>" in control and in 
changelog it is using the value of user at host which is not what I expected 
to happen.

The jh_makepkg version (jh_makepkg -V) I was using is "Javahelper Version 0.5".

I was running it in a git clone of:
git://git.savannah.gnu.org/gnuprologjava.git
