cdbs: empathic maybe
I tried to ask our cats if they felt threatened by CDBS. They didn't seem really worried.
I'm not sure if it is entirely fair to blame CDBS for complex packaging issues. If CDBS was not available, more maintainers would just cook up their own spaghetti packaging scripts. The balance needs to be somewhere between "everyone reinventing the wheel" and "frameworks that are harder to use than the raw stuff". Currently I would recommend only using CDBS for simple packages.
