Many things cannot be automated:
- importing a new upstream release requires a manual check of all
license/copyright changes
- bumping to a new Standards-Version requires a manual check of what
needs to be updated to comply with the new policy version
- bumping to a new debhelper compat level requires a manual check of
what could break/change with the new level

So I have the impression that most tasks, even those apparently
routinized, cannot be automated. Moreover, lintian-brush already seems
to cover the cases that can be. But maybe routine-update has features
that I am not aware of…

Best,
