I'm deeply concerned that the "surface area" of Debian packaging tools is too large already for new folk, and adding something like gwh into the archive makes that problem worse.Fair enough, although I'm hoping to make gwh good enough to encapsulate part of that surface area in one tool.I would really like to see an effort to improve gbp itself directly at least first. Have you tried to do that?I got in touch with Guido Guenther before sending this ITP, and he seemed to agree that gwh can only be implemented as a wrapper around gbp (mainly due to adherence to pbuilder hooks while gbp can be used with other builders).Do you mean gwh assumes pbuilder and doesn't support sbuild?
Right, it's even in the ITP.Well, then I guess (and hope) that it won't be used by a large percent of people, hopefully by the majority (I understand this is controversial but meh).
