... this makes me think: cdbs is top-down because it defines the package build as much as possible in line with how the cdbs developers think it should be done. It expects the developer to tweak the countless, undocumented parameters until it's right. debhelper is bottom-up because it gives you small tools that each do their own thing. You then get to put them together to accomplish what you want to accomplish. Those who know me also know that I am a big fan of anything bottom(s)-up.
