If dh_scrollkeeper had always behaved like you wish it had, then it
would currently be adding a dependency on scrollkeeper (>= 0.3.8). Once
debhelper is updated to add a dependency on the new scrollkeeper that uses
triggers, all the packages using dh_scrollkeeper will need to be rebuilt
to get the new dependency. The only way to gurantee that the right
dependency is added will be to build-depend on the relevant version of
debhelper. The current and past behavior of dh_scrollkeeper has no
bearing on this.
