Yes, old maintainer used DBS. dbs use a non-standard packaging method. 
As you probably know, dbs system package the upstream tarball, without 
unpacking it, *inside* the orig.tar.gz. It's not "the good way" to 
package simple package like cronolog and removing dbs build dependency 
was a bug of cronolog. So, I have used upstream tarball to make a new 
orig.tar.gz (it's the same file as the tarball inside the tarball from 
the debian archive)

Sadly, there is no new upstream version. So, it seen the archived 
tarball should be replaced if we want to remove dbs dependency. But I'm 
not an expert (maybe one day :-) ). Other solution may exists.

thanks for your time.
