do not repeat the package name in the short description though.

cdbs itself uses debhelper. But yes, the two probably should not be
used together.

This is an artefact of using topgit and branch namespaces and is
done mostly in the large scheme of cross-distro version conttrol
(http://vcs-pkg.org).

Please use
-include /usr/share/topgit/tg2quilt.mk
(note the leading -, since topgit is not a build dependency)
