Incidentally, if you look at the Debian Developer's corner (http://www.debian.org/developers_corner), you can see why a lot of new maintainers start using debstd instead of debhelper. We have two different documents suggesting debmake/debstd and zero suggesting debhelper. Joey Hess, as the maintainer of debhelper, do you see this as a situation that should change? I think we should eliminate any manuals suggesting debstd (or put it under a "historic" section), and try to get someone working on a debhelper equivalent. Perhaps a discussion of the pros and cons of debhelper, hand-roll (a la Manoj), and cvs-buildpackage and the like could be discussed also. I'm probably going to take over the developers reference; I've considered widening the scope a little to talk about package practices (not a HOWTO, however!) which might discuss these high level issues, i.e., what methods are available to developers to help them package stuff, which ones are deprecated and which are supported, etc., all the while sticking with objective fact and leaving the valuation up to the maintainer herself.
