No problem at all :-)

Seems you missed the debian/* one ;-)

It might work using both:

  * Include /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/utils.mk
  * If your rules file contains "clean:" then change to "clean::"
  * Touch debian/copyright_hints
  * (Re)generate copyright hints (no need to do a full build):
    DEB_MAINTAINER_MODE=1 debian/rules pre-build
  * Rename generated file as instructed

CDBS was not designed as a competitor to debhelper, but a framework for 
various patterns - debhelper only beeing one of them: most other CDBS 
snippets works independently from the debhelper.mk one.

So you should be able to slowly migrate from a debhelper-only packaging 
style to CDBS, you need not (in theory at least) do a complete shift in 
one go.

That said, I have never personally used short-form debhelper 7, so do 
not know what kind of surprises it can create.  With "classic" debhelper 
I only know of this clean: → clean:: quirk.  Please do tell if you 
experiences any other oddities (preferrably via bugreports to either 
cdbs or debhelper - it is getting off-topic for this list).


Kind regards,

  - Jonas
