It's just a matter of taste. Before dh7 was introduced I was also in 
favour of CDBS, but the new override_* rules really got me. ;)

I think we shouldn't make anything really mandatory. IMHO it does not 
really help anyone but scares away the members with strong preferences 
for on or the other build system, e.g. Jonas.

Maybe we should just *recommend* a packaging style but still tolerate 
the others, as they are also perfectly valid to get things done.
