Debian is not really freedom of choice, we put quite a lot of restrictions in the debian policy on what you may or may not do in debian packages. debian/rules is a bit of odd exception, where we tightly regulate the output the file must produce, but the actual contents of the file is a wild west. That is a major source of pain when doing archive wide changes - no using build-arch target at buildd's for you!
