Some technical comments then:

Variable assignments that use the $(shell) function should be done using
:= for performance reasons.

Use of the [[ ]] shell operator strikes me as unusual.  Why not [ ] ?

You seem to have an encoding problem in this line:

    +#Â check if build is possible

I'm not a fan of this:

+       echo "$(cdbs_pycompat)" >debian/pycompat

People should write the desired value into the file themselves.  We have
no business messing with that.
