Oh yes, I know that it is. But it is because it is really helpful, and
good tool, isn't it?

You're right - debhelper uses some "easy" methods to do something, which
is done in another way without it, but maybe it's good way to do that?

You're right again :) Now I know why that question is asked so often ;)
But as a developer (I think I can said that, but I'm not approved by DAM
yet) I think that Debian package creation can be still easier than
today, and high-level (maybe once more high-level than debhelper?) tools
are really welcome.
