The current best practise is to not assume that everybody wants to use
debhelper or cdbs.
However, if you ask the maintainer first, you might want to do
something similar for those who still use debmake. It is not a bug to
use debmake, and there may even be people that prefer it over debhelper
(or a hand-rolled debian/rules files), but I would like debmake to
disappear some day, so the less packages that use debmake, the better.
