Given that most pd libraries use the same template, I think we can
leverage the use of cdbs here:
1. We ship (eg, in puredata-dev) a standard-pd-object.mk CDBS class
which includes the snippets needed for the shlibdeps and license
fiddling, and the makefile class.
2. rules files then become simply:
#!/usr/bin/make -f
LIBRARY_NAME = pdlib
include /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/standard-pd-object.mk
What do you think?
That looks very handy, but I think the given library template is well
tuned. For me the problem would be then learning cdbs for special
cases. But since there are still at least 30 unpackaged Pd
libraries, I
think having this as option makes sense. I'd call it something like
standard-pd-library.mk
If the word "CDBS" discourages you, then (since the proposal is to
ship a template _separately_ from CDBS) you can just ship a snippet
unrelated to CDBS.
Heck, you can even ship a snippet which uses short-form dh!
My point here is that there is nothing in CDBS to "learn" except for
the parts that you include. So if you find the CDBS templates more
of a burden than a benefit, then don't use them - write your own
from scratch instead: it is simply a make inclusion (at first - over
time it may grow ugly, more ugly than CDBS).
(and yes, I personally favor CDBS over custom templates - no news
there)

I have no problem against CDBS, indeed I have almost no experience
with CDSB. Its just that I know debhelper and its working well for
me, so I don't see a reason for me to switch. I won't dissuade anyone
else from doing this tho, it sounds like a good idea.
