Because cdbs is an unmaintainable beast of Makefiles. I'm not sure who is
willing to keep the Python parts in there working. Since we have dh, which is a
sane piece of code with a sane upstream, most new packages use dh. And I know
several people who are willing to update dh to work with new Python
versions/packaging changes if necessary.
