Maybe, maybe not. Debhelper is great if the package fits into the GNU mold. On others, it's not a lot of help. Given the times I have had to go in and figure out what dh_<something> was doing, and either fix it or adjust my thinking, the overall balance can shift against debhelper. (I'm *not* slamming debhelper, it's a great tool and all of my packages use it. But there are complicated or weird packages where it may not be the best choice.) Steve
