What about using debhelper rather than having another packaging suite? IIRC Ian said that debmake was "broken" in some respects and that Debian should have a decent packaging tool - IMO debhelper fits that nicely :-) The only complaint I have with packaging is that dpkg needs updating (as we all know). Some things that debhelper does like "dh_du" (diskspace usage) should be in dpkg-buildpackage instead.
