I am sympathetic to the cause, but I am not sure what the right
interface should be.  However, since it can be done via a debhelper
add-on, then anyone can write a prototype for it an experiment with the
right API for the users that need it.

If/when such a prototype has proven successful, I am happy to consider
pulling it into debhelper itself as a built-in feature.
