Personally I have no real opinion about that. Using debhelper makes it easy to
fix bugs like this the future. On the other hand it really wasn't that easy
to get debhelper-5.0.37 to sarge. Its not available on backports.org and to
port it myself, I had to backport several other packages as well.
Again on the other hand, Etch seems to get released on time which is not so
far in the future.
Well, I'm not a debian-developer, so my opinion shouldn't count anyway ;)
I have CC'ed to Bug#380159, maybe they have a real opinion there.
Thanks,
Bernd
