Yes, but I'm under the impression that no javahelper based package does so (a code search on "JH_JAVADOC_OPTS" returns only javatools). > I don't understand the maven-debian-helper case though.

I just know that the command line parameter overrides the property in pom.xml. Note that if maven.properties could override the property set by maven-debian-helper, we would have many cases where maven-debian-helper sets the encoding to UTF-8, the pom.xml sets the encoding to ISO-8859-1 (but is ignored), and we would have to add the encoding in debian/maven.properties to ensure it still compiles. That would be counter-productive since upstream already configured the encoding properly.
