Until now, I was unaware of debhelper.

It's hard to find a short name not already taken.  I decided that dh was
a good representation of its function, and I wanted a two character name
that's easy to use with minimal keystrokes.

I apologize to debhelper users, but I have no desire to change the name
of daemon helper now.

dh is its name; a natural companion to sh.
