Absolutely.

No, it dosen't. I probably should have changed the Subject header. This
is about making the lower-level tools smarter for the benefit of those who
don't want to use debmake or anything similar.
(Let me state right now that the reason I don't use debmake is because I
object to the *concept*, not the execution. Debmake is a DWIM tool, and
I avoid DWIM tools whenever possible, for what I think are tolerably obvious
reasons.)
