Exactly. Thanks Joey for pointing this out :-)

Please, people, stop saying that debmake is "orphaned". It is not:
I'm the current maintainer, and so far I don't think I have maintained it
so badly so that it may be considered "orphaned".

People who say debmake does not conform to policy should send bug reports
instead and tell me exactly where it does not conform to policy.

Thanks.
