Well, without adding complexity, I do agree to having a field that specifies
the calling procedure for building the package. However, I don't like
Rules-Format, as it ties us to debian/rules. How about Interface-Format?
It's a more general term, and defines the interface used to actually build the
package.
Once we have a field for specifying the interface for building a
package(which, on it's own, is very useful), decided what interfaces to
support is another topic.
