Given that cordova-cli will be the end goal for people typing in commands, I guess I don't really care what the scripts look like as long as they are consistent.
So.. I guess I'd be fine to have build-release and build-debug as top-level scripts. Since: It would seem weird to me to have a top-level build command that shells out to build-release vs build-debug. These scripts are identical except for a single flag, so I think they'd be implemented by calling a common helper script. Trying to appease both fewer scripts and lots of script ends us up with a pyramid of scripts! Right now the Android scripts work by: 1. Each linux script has an equivalent window .bat file of the same name 2a. Each .bat forwards to cordova.bat, which forwards to cordova.js 2b. Each unix script forwards to cordova 3. cordova.js and cordova have all of the actual logic.
