I maintained a bunch of backported packages for a long time, but never bothered backporting debhelper. You just need to grok what each debhelper utility does (manpages, debian, yay), and either disable the unnecessary ones, or replicate their functionality. You can see my old backports at http://www.solutionsfirst.com.au/debian/ We consult on Debian support too, btw. ;) - Jeff -- "Love never misses the chance to put the boot in." - Kelly, SLOU -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
