They have different design goals. Apart from anything else, debstd is monolithic while debhelper is modular. There used to be a dh_debstd script to aid migration, but it was removed because "It was a nice thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?". That seems to have been true in practice - if people are going to convert to debhelper, they generally do so wholesale. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
