I don't know cdbs well, so I don't know what big features it might have that dh does not have, but I do know that the Haskell package ecosystem relies on cdbs addon code. I.e. in our d/rules we have include /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/debhelper.mk include /usr/share/cdbs/1/class/hlibrary.mk There have been attempts to rewrite what hlibrary.mk does as a 'dh_haskell' tool. These attempts stalled. Switching the entire Haskell ecosystem over to use dh would be a massive amount of work, as the new dh_haskell would need a lot of testing etc. So Haskell libraries and apps would probably have to be one of the exceptions. -- Sean Whitton
