I've done that for most of my other packages, but it's not a good fit
for ncbi-tools6, whose build system is too idiosyncratic to get much
benefit from it. :-/ Its debian/rules file does still use dh to the
extent possible, though.

Makes perfect sense to me, and conveniently matches my own
preferences.  (I used cdbs extensively before migrating to dh.)

Thanks!
