As a consequence my experience with CDBS is almost NULL. If you changed your mind and packaged it without CDBS, I could see myself helping a bit (don't make this decision only depend on me, though).
Unfortunately I am quite decided about the use of CDBS: I use it consistently in all the 100+ packages that I am involved in maintaining, and am also active in the development of CDBS itself.
I'm not a fan of dh7 reinventing the wheel of the "make" language.CDBS is a bunch of make patterns. So if you dislike the make language, I can see why you'd appreciate dh7.
I do hope that I get a chance to guide you through the benefits of CDBS and perhaps even convince you that is makes sense to use. :-)
