Lintian tag: package-does-not-use-debhelper

Type: pedantic

Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

This package does not appear to use the debhelper build system helper.

It is recommended that packages use such tools as they avoid a large
number of common errors and tedious boilerplate, permit distribution-wide
changes to packages, reduce the "bus factor" and reduce barriers to entry
from external contributors.

Please refer to the debhelper(7) manual page and the dh(1) manual page for
details.
