Which packages, and why? I mean, there are very cleanly packaged files
that don't use debhelper nor cdbs (see e.g. make). But there can be
awfully written debian/rules files, hence my question.

Hah! Since that's a tricky question, I'll just say that to fix a
hand-rolled debian/rules, migrating to debhelper will probably be
easier and more obvious, just by substituting chunks of commands
with the appropriate dh_whatever invocation.
