[maemo-developers] up-to-date debhelper and cdbs

[From: Thomas Tanner]

The latest debhelper7 can now happily coexist with debhelper from
autobuilder and SDK.

The following lines in debian/rules are necessary to use it:

PATH:=/usr/bin/dh7:/usr/bin:$(PATH)
export PATH
SBOX_REDIRECT_IGNORE=/usr/bin/perl
export SBOX_REDIRECT_IGNORE

cdbs would require more changes (e.g. replacing all references to
/usr/share/cdbs) but maybe Jeff's trick with
Build-Depends: maemo-cflags-cdbs-rules
could also give you a more recent cdbs?

cheers,
