Yes of course. I've written that at a time, when dh-sequence-name was
not a thing. I think part of the reason we invented dh-sequence-name was
me bugging Niels about this. Thus my earlier argument has become
invalid. I fully agree that there now should be a sequence addon.
Build-Depends-Indep: dh-sequence-doxygen seems great. Will you do it?
