The debhelper package contains both a 'debian' directory for debian/rules etc

(i.e. Cygwin), it is impossible to unpack debhelper - when you try, you get 
only the
debian/ folder, so the modules are missing.

A patch is available in the Debian GNU/kCygwin project SVN repository on 
Sourceforge.
For reference, I've also added it below.

Apart from applying this patch, the Debian directory should be moved to 
lib/Debian, of
course.

Sorry, but I think I'd rather not worry about compatability with
case-insensative filesystems in debhelper.

Why? I'm trying to port Debian to Cygwin. It matters here. And I've already supplied you with a patch, which does not break things anywhere; removes the uglyness of having two directories with the same name case-insensitively; and adds Cygwin and Win32 as platforms to build debhelper on. The fact you'll never build it on there, is unimportant in this case.
