Somewhat related, but if we introduce this mooted "package-does-not-
use- dh-sequencer" we need to work out what to do with:

  https://lintian.debian.org/tags/package-does-not-use-debhelper-or-cdbs.html

One thing we can probably all agree with is that the severity of
package-does-not-use-debhelper-or-cdbs should be equal to or exceed
the severity of package-does-not-use-dh-sequencer as one is a logical
subset of another. Thus either we introduce package-does-not-use-dh-
sequencer as a pedantic level (-1 on this here...) or we bump both of
them higher to possibly-varying degrees.

(Tagging moreinfo as appropriate.)
