CDBS is too complex, making it hard to understand. Furthermore, I see no
single reason for CDBS to exist anymore, as debhelper 7 offers similar and
in many cases superior alternatives. I also like to have less Build-Depends.
I have already converted python-apt to dh7, an upload of gnome-app-install is
pending. I converted notify-osd because I will not upload a new package using
cdbs to Debian anymore (unless it's a NMU or similar).

One of those changes disabling the installation of upstream changelogs, to
save space. Once I uploaded a package to REVU and the reviewers complained
that there was no upstream changelog in the resulting .deb.
Furthermore, we already have several packages in main which do not use CDBS
and work well, examples including APT and ndisgtk.
I ran debdiff on the 0.9.17-1 version built in my PPA and the 0.9.17-0ubuntu1
version, and the only difference was the missing upstream changelog in
0ubuntu1 (ignoring the update of debian/copyright). Therefore, I see no
problem in simply syncing those packages.
