I just reported 3 bugs (#933901, #933902, #933903) with false positives
of that tag.  I just looked a bunch of them and couldn't find a single
true positive, so I think that tag should be reviewed before bumping its
severity.

I think those bugs should be squashed, reviewed, and then bumped to W.
Only once there are very few packages with that should
package-goes-not-use-dh-sequencer be bumped to W as well.
(note that package-does-not-)se-debhelper-or-cdbs does not emit for
classic-style debhelper rules files.)
