No idea for variables, but for rules and classes you can use the
following naive (but IMO working) heuristic.

  Look for all include lines in the debian/rules you're getting, if the
  included file is under /usr/share/cdbs then it is worth using it as a
  category to which the current debian/rules belongs to.

Cheers.
