Actually, dh --with nonexistantthing is not a noop, it causes dh to
fail.
--with autotools-dev works because dh does a $mod=~s/-/_/g;

It's a perl module, and AFAIK you cannot have a dash in the name of a
perl module.

cdebconf has gotten to be a quite usable replacement for debconf.
However, in trying to remove debconf from my system, I found there
were several packages with wrong dependencies, like this:

Absolutely.
There are potentially some packages that use DH_COMPAT to set their
compat level, rather than

Surprisingly, many packages seem to have randomly executable files

Thank you for maintaining so much debhelper deprecation checks!
I compared the lintian checks with debhelper's TODO list,
and dh_installmanpages is deprecated but not shown by lintian.
Also, debian/compress files are deprecated for a while.

Using compat level 8 before debhelper version 8.0 leaves a package open
to breaking when I make more changes to that compat level.

Marc, your PATH is broken. It contains literally '~/bin' -- not
/home/duck/bin. That will cause the shell to look in
./~bin/ in the current directory, which could even be a security
risk. Just thought you should know that.
