Please call me over-picky but without checking the history is your "most" not a sign that there is at least one change to d/rules which was needed to fix some lintian issue. I do not want you to change linux d/rules file and I think it is pretty safe from beeing NMUed just to switch to dh. My point was that I doubt that any "working for years" d/rules has no lintian issues.
