Whenever your rules files ends up with the simple catch all line, plus a couple of auto_something overrides, its probably the best solution. For complex cases, dh is not better or worse than anything else. It does not make it more easy (or more difficult) to write or read a complex rules file. > Why Not Make this Change > ======================== I would use dh for any new package and converting trivial packages is... trivial. However converting a package with a more convoluted rules files will take humanpower. While it may be justified to convert a mildly complex rules file on a package that has some activity, I don't think I would invest those resources to convert a package that's been working for years without anyone touching it's rules files. So I would tend to treat this change as any other (e.g. the quilt format): on a best effort basis, whenever you have to touch a rules file, consider switching. I would really not go so far as to make working software RC buggy just because it uses a style that was once the recommended one and stuck to it. Kind regards, Thibaut.
