I for one lack a high level presentation of how the various bits work together
and a clear description of the "magic" behind each tool.

For instance, dh_python2 explains that it tries to translate Python
dependencies into Debian dependencies but it's not clear that it needs
the corresponding packages installed (so it's not clear that for this
to work you have to add something to Build-Depends).

Cheers,
