Good points.

FEW files missing in the following chapter are:

NEWS
TODO

Also .ex things are quite confusing.  I should just use real names in title.

What is needed is documentation on dh_listpackages and its usage to sort
out binary-indep and binary-arch difference for override commands.

Otherwise, buildd may fail if they only install Build-Depends: (I vaguely
remember, they install Build-Depends-Indep: too.  But you never know.)

I am thinking to use example like from pam package but simplified.

override_dh_install:
ifneq (,$(findstring libpam-modules, $(shell dh_listpackages)))
        dh_install -plibpam-modules -Xpam_cracklib
endif
        dh_install -Nlibpam-modules

override_dh_fixperms:
        dh_fixperms
ifneq (,$(findstring libpam-modules, $(shell dh_listpackages)))
        chgrp shadow $(d)/libpam-modules/sbin/unix_chkpwd
        chmod 02755 $(d)/libpam-modules/sbin/unix_chkpwd
endif
