Package: cdbs
Version: 0.4.13
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

Builds with cdbs currently output a lot of stuff like

if test -n "" && test "" != "."; then rmdir ""; fi
if test "." != "."; then rmdir .; fi

if [ -n "" ]; then \
  mkdir -p ""; \
fi
if [ ! -d "." ]; then \
  mkdir -p "."; \
fi

if test ""; then :; else dh_makeshlibs -pgtetrinet  ; fi

etc.

It would be nice to support a CDBS_DEBUG mode which shows this stuff and
more if necessary, or keep the output a bit more tidy otherwise, like
debhelper itself does.

Jordi
