Thanks for commenting.
I cannot predict when CDBS will be removed from Debian;
but you can keep it forever downstream of course.
I'm keeping https://debathena.mit.edu/packaging/ in my bookmarks
because it's the last online copy of the documentation it seems.
Greetings

> The point of config-package-dev is to allow for others who are *not* in the main debian repositories to be able to build debian packages to configure their systems. As a result, the code search results you included are not necessarily relevant. We need to continue to support users which may have CDBS-based packages. Until the point that cdbs support is announced to be removed in Debian, I believe it is correct for these references to stay.
