[Chris West (Faux)]

Source: maven-common-artifact-filters
Version: 1.4-1
Severity: serious
Justification: fails to build from source

Dear Maintainer,

The package fails to build from source in sid:
Tests in error: 
  testExcludedArtifactWithRangeShouldNotCauseNPE(org.apache.maven.shared.artifact.filter.ScopeArtifactFilterTest): org/apache/xbean/asm5/original/commons/EmptyVisitor

Tests run: 202, Failures: 0, Errors: 1, Skipped: 0

(Is that a ClassNotFoundException getting toString'd?)
