Debhelper could well be useful to you. If you run the tools with -v, or set
DH_VERBOSE, they output all commands they run that edit the debian/tmp
directory.
I suppose, I could add a --no-do type switch, and then they would _only_
output it, and not actually do anything. So maybe the tools themselves could
be used to generate the debian/rules file.
There is a problem, though. For example, if you have a man page generated by
a configure script from a manpage.1.in file, you run dh_installmanpages to see
what commands to run to install man pages, before configure is run, then it
will ignore that manpage.1.in file.
Anyway, do take a look at debhelper, you should find the individual tools a
bit easier to comprehend than debstd, anyway.
