I believe it is a bit too soon for this. Currently we only have this one outrageously simple Godot package which is probably not representative. I'm thinking of [1] and non-standard assets builds.

I would wait until we get a couple non-trivial games and consider integration with dh_auto_make/dh_auto_install/etc. (Similarly Ren'Py is packaged but we have yet to get a single independent packaged game for it :/)
seem to me that the "build" phase should be separate from the "install" phase as a matter of principle
Thanks for pointing this out (this was also reported to me off-list). I reworked the packaging a bit to clarify the build and install phases. This may even be simpler/clearer now :) Cheers! Sylvain
