That's the beauty of the DPKG ecosystem, you always have a myriad of
seemingly same tools and they often lack consistency.
Should I use debuild, dpkg-buildpackage, or one of the two others?
With or without rules? Should I rely on debhelper?
The list goes on.

Yes, that one needs an override on Fedora.

That one should be solved by one of my package submissions.
I'm the debhelper maintainer
where are your packages submissions ? (can you add me please )
I have reports that pbuilder works fine even in el7 (with packages of
epel7)

Again, I have no problem with apt-rpm if someone wants to maintain it
and it keeps working, my problem is that it's called apt.
