In principle there is no reason to use a VM to develop Debian packages.
I'm personally running Debian on all machines I control. The only
reason for me to once setup a VM was to install Debian with kernel
freebds to check some bug that happened in the freebsd flavour of
Debian. In short: No, a VM is not the best way - its an appropriate
workaround if you have no easy access to a running Debian system.

Ohoh, now you are banned from the list! ;-)
Honestly, we are open for everybody. There were several people who are
running even non-free operating systems on their machines. Its usually
not very successful to ask for help on non-Debian systems here - but you
are free to run your hardware with whatever you like.
