The officially best way of Debianizing a package... there isn't any.

hand, without any helpers, helps here) and then choose the method you use
(debhelper, debstd, dbs or hand-roll) based on fact and not on guess.

You should certainly aspire to understand the process. The automata
can make mistakes, and they occasionally do.
