I like CDBS a lot and all my packages use it. Unfortunately, the documentation is not very extensive. OTOH, the variables are well documented in the makefiles, i.e. just read through /usr/share/cdbs/1/{class,rules/* Furthermore, there is https://perso.duckcorp.org/duck/cdbs-doc/cdbs-doc.xhtml in English and http://www.ngolde.de/cdbs.html in German. Other things, I did: I looked for packages build-depending on CDBS and stole from the debian/rules, and I asked "stupid" questions on the CDBS hackers spam exploder: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/build-common-hackers With some luck, questions get answered.
