Right. We can't possible build Debian packages without
crutches, hence not using said crutches is stupid. Since, you know,
building packages is really really rocket science.

Ooh. Generalizations. Gotta love 'em. Well, none of my
40-or-so packages use debhelper. This includes stuff like make and
flex, which are not exactly obscure and unknown packages. If these
are broken in someway, and people know about them, I would appreciate
bug reports.
