Hey,

In meanwhile pino also uploaded some packages that use dh. I'm completly 
puzzled. Have we made a conclusion to switch to dh?

yeah it helps a lot. Also dh-sequence-{addon} is quite nice moves stuff from 
rules file to control.
But sill one very common override is dh_auto_configure. 
@pino can you tell me what is the correct way to execute dh_auto_configure with 
dh? 
and how do I know, wen I have to add -S XX and when not? 
because for dh_auto_test is it not needed right?
where I can find those things?
