I didn't say "make them THE standard", I suggested that it may be a
good idea to have a more standard API to use in rules files, to avoid
too much diversity. Currently, anarchy reigns within debian/rules,
and it's a pain to work with.
Do you have any constructive criticism, or a better alternative?
Things are a mess right now, although I'll conceed that it's probably
not the biggest of our problems, just an improvement that I think we
could make.
