Bug#814728: joptsimple: FTBFS with locally rebuilt packages: Missing Build-Depends on ant

[Daniel Schepler]

Source: joptsimple
Version: 4.5-2
Severity: important

>From my pbuilder build log, using a setup with apt pointed to a repository of
locally rebuilt packages:

...
touch debian/stamp-poms-patched
# before-build target may be used to unpatch the pom files, so we need to check if
# patching the pom files is needed here, normally not
if [ ! -f pom.xml.save ]; then \
        /usr/bin/make -f debian/rules patch-poms; \
fi

Upon investigation, the reason ant was pulled in before was because velocity
currently depends on it.  However, a rebuilt velocity package will no longer
have this dependency - and according to the commentary on #814679 the
smaller set of dependencies for velocity is actually the correct one.
