Hi,

Given that exactly one package build-depends on premake4, I think it is
too early to include support in debhelper directly.

However, by all means please do consider adding a Debhelper build system
and shipping it in a dh-premake package (or premake4 itself).  Should
premake4 gain more traction, we can always revisit this decision. :)

Thanks,
