I had this problem as well, but the answer I got from the -devel-List
was embarassingly obvious: none of the dependencies of debhelper require
newer stuff than included with Slink, so you can just take the .deb file
as is, without the need to build it yourself.

The `build' dependencies is obviously there, but it doesn't matter
when taking the built debhelper. Got lm_sensors from Potato running
nicely with it.

Cheers,
