Well, relative to other languages, I think Python's had the most changes with regards to build helper tools -- there was dh_pycentral, and dh_pysupport in the past which did more or less the same thing in different ways, and now we have dh_python2, and dh_python3. In contrast, Mono stuff have only had the dh_cli* set of things, and Java only had the javahelper bunch of things. -- Kind regards, Loong Jin
