There is no "commands" that are run by debstd. You have the image
that debstd simply generates a series of commands. This is not true.
debstd dynamically decides these things and does a lot besides the common
commands in debian/rules. If it would be that simple then I would have
done it a while ago.

A package never depends on a particular version of debstd. All versions of
debstd are compatible for most packages.
