At the BoF I demonstrated usage of dh_webext and have just updated the tree-style-tab to use it (again).

I've updated dh_webext to touch manifest.json to the date of d/changelog, this avoids postinst. I also made some other changes and added a TODO to the top of the script for some leftovers.

I gave a rough outline of how to have https-everywhere use dh_webext but didn't get around to doing it during the BoF (the repo is 100MB and git clone took too long).

Hope this helps, please people try to use dh_webext and let me know what's missing. An example is here:

https://salsa.debian.org/webext-team/tree-style-tab/blob/master/debian/rules

The chmod is a special stupidity of tree-style-tab that isn't required in most packages. At some point we'll want to automate away the detection of the extension-short-name so in the common case you don't need to override_dh_web_ext at all. (see the TODO in dh_webext) Everything else in that file is optional.
