Hallo,
this sounds like a good idea - +1 from me.
Just do not touch update-alternatives package, even if it's quite inconvenient, this needs to be packages in separate spec to avoid huge build loops in Factory.

sounds good to me. I added those two packages (dh-make, dh-autoreconf) because newbies can't do anything about .deb without them. (Actually newbies still can't do anything about .deb, because Depends can't be fulfilled under an RPM-based distro. But anyway it will help .deb developers.) I even packaged dpkg, and debhelper in my home:MargueriteSu:debian, then I found there's an official package called deb, so I deleted my packages and updated the official one. I think most of our users also feel confused they have to install deb package instead of dpkg/debhelper, because no one tends to read our packaging wiki first if he already tried packaging once on Debian/Ubuntu. Why not bind update-alternative and dpkg together, instead of deb? When I worked on that deb package, I saw those are actually built together.
