I updated my completely arch-indep package weather-util to 3.0
(quilt) last week, and switched to dh7's rules.tiny example at the
same time. Admittedly my old debian/rules was pretty heavily dh-ish
to begin with, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that no tweaks
at all were necessary... just overwriting it with rules.tiny worked
perfectly. Admittedly it switched the package from python-central to
python-support, leaving me a couple of old central-isms I could
decruft from the packaging, but I count that as a bonus. ;)
