Hi! Have you considered making a poll for this? Because everyone will tell you a different oppinion... For me, I think: bzr-builddeb is specific to Bzr, if you don't use Bzr, it is useless. Instead, dh_make can be used to generate Debian templates quickly, so it might be useful for more people, even those not using Bzr. I use the Debian Git tools for packaging, I never touched the Bzr stuff, so I don't need it. I also don't need dh-make often, but it sometimes is useful. I can't give any hint, because I am just one developer, but I would probably prefer dh-make for the reason above. But if I would need to decide, I would probably suggest both and recommend none of them :-) Cheers, Matthias
