The only language-agnostic on that list is 'dh-make' and while I haven't
spent a lot of time with it, my (old) impression of it was that it the
resulting templates it creates was more complicated to fill out than to
start from scratch, or copying debian/* from some similar existing
package.  So I think there is room for improvement in this area.

Luka, did you try 'dh-make'?  What are the main differences to your
package?

FWIW, I don't think there is any problem to have more than one tool that
adress a similar problem.
