Very true but things aren't so simple. There have been some updates bit ... This document was originally written before "dh $@#" was used. I updated for that (debhelper 7 days). Since then several additional text was added to address multi-arch etc. With several DEP and multi-arch ... updating this document became difficult partly because dh_make used in the example did not address M-A. Also writing long English text for all these details became too much for me ... So I wrote a debmake package and rewrote the tutorial text as debmake-doc. It is in archive now for stretch... Osamu
