I agree. The problem is that debstd was never designed to fail in case
of error, so it's not as easy as adding "set -e" at the top.
As a partial fix, I've just modified debstd so that it would build itself
if it had "set -e" at the beginning. If you make a diff between version
3.7.8 and 3.7.9, you'll see that most of the changes are like this:

+ X=`find usr/share/man usr/X11*/man -type f 2>/dev/null || true`
if [ "$X" ]; then
gzip -9 $X
else
Now I "just" have to check that adding "set -e" at the top will not
break any of the remaining 110 packages in unstable still using debmake.
