I looked yesterday at the boxbackup source package and contemplated converting it to dh from debhelper. I decided to not, because I'm having a hard time seeing a significant simplification potential. Maybe I'm just not seeing it? 

Note that I orphaned the package quite some time ago, so feel welcome to simplify it as much as possible on Salsa.
