Hi Christopher,

I haven't been able to reproduce the issue you are reporting. I ran this
command on a simple Maven project with tests:

    mh_make --run-tests=false --javadoc=false

The package generated didn't include a javadoc package in debian/control
and the unit tests were properly disabled with the maven.test.skip=true
property in debian/maven.properties.

The value of --run-tests and --javadoc options are passed to
GenerateDebianFilesMojo which convert them to boolean values. So
detecting the value "false" and clearing the RUN_TESTS and GEN_JAVADOC
variables in the script shouldn't be necessary.
