What about using debhelper rather than having another packaging suite? IIRC
Ian said that debmake was "broken" in some respects and that Debian should
have a decent packaging tool - IMO debhelper fits that nicely :-)
The only complaint I have with packaging is that dpkg needs updating (as we
all know). Some things that debhelper does like "dh_du" (diskspace usage)
should be in dpkg-buildpackage instead.
