A new Debian package helper: debputy

- debhelper: 1997-present

- dh: 2008-present

Building something on top of dh at this point, like dh was built on debhelper, does not seem to justify your rant. But what do I know?

In other words, in 16 years of dh being a thing it still hasn't acquired decent documentation, and how you're pushing another solution which is going to be undocumented for another 16-18 years. It's not just "my" rant, look at comments in every Debian packaging thread, this one included. The opposite is the exception.

If you are who I think you are, then the answer is "a lot".
