Ok, I read the thingie, it seems that debhelper should be placed in
the Build-Depends field now because dh_* scripts are called in the

I will; I will also add a NEWS file which has this exact purpose (btw,
the changelog should not be the main communication means between the
user and the developer).

Please note that the change in question is one done in the
configuration file, thus will need an aproval from the user to
override his own configuration file with the one in the package.
