indeed. using dh should currently be a "should" in policy, with two
exceptions:
- packages using cdbs. cdbs has features dh doesnt have and I dont think
it's wrong to use cdbs. (Although I don't recommend it...)
- build-depends of debhelper.
Maybe we could also make the "should" stronger:
- new packages (except if they are ment to become build-depends of
debhelper) *must* either use dh or cdbs.
- old packages should be switched to dh (or cdbs).
And then turn this "should" into a "must" for bookworm (and thus make it
RC then as well).
