I remember that , thanks. But in addition to this I remember
receiving a message where someone (?) instructed to remove
all extra "# dh_*" lines. There reasoning was something like
patch "being difficult to read" and therefore I should
clean up the debian/rules file

I would myself kept those lines in there, because if more features
were added to the package later it would help to just uncomment
relevant lline and not need to read for separate dh_* pages.

Anyway, If I remember incorrectly that the "dh_" episode was
instructional only, I may have interpreted is as "rejection
criteria". If so, then the "W:" is correct in lintian.

Thanks for clearance,
Jari
