maven-debian-helper at least doesn't have a default encoding, each
project defines its encoding by setting the project.build.sourceEncoding
property.

I'd prefer using UTF-8 too, but it will trigger unmappable character
errors on many packages (it does with libidw-java for example). Using
ISO-8859-1 is roughly equivalent to the behavior we had before changing
the language level to 1.7. Since this mostly affects comments in the
code it isn't very important.

I'm fine if someone wants to use UTF-8, but he has to be prepared to
also fix the packages built with jh_build.
