Of course I have zero say in the decision, just throwing an idea
out there.
Would it be okay for the packaging of gs-cjk-resource, which is
relatively simple, to use debhelper 7 instead of CDBS?
My reasons for asking this are that
- in my experience, dh is much easier to debug without "deep"
knowledge about the workings. To find out what a given sequence
does, there is "dh foo --no-act". Each command in that sequence
can be invoked on the command line and has a clear manual page.
- more people seem to be comfortable reading and writing using it
Either way, if there is any way I can help, I'd be glad to.
