I don't know which one used it first, but this is quite an ancient behavior ; i'm astonished you complained this late, as it is now *IMPOSSIBLE* to fix this problem, too many packages would FTBFS if we change such variables. I strongly agree CDBS_* would have been better, nevertheless, why should module-assistant have the priviledge of DEB_* variables usage ? If the closest relationship to debhelper wins, then CDBS wins. -- Marc Dequènes (Duck)
