yes, they only take care of the files in debian/packagename/..... -
normally you use setup.py to buld/install them, but pysupport/central
don't care how they got in there.

yes.

depends. For easy tasks like using setup.py it's easy, but as long as
you have to add more than two lines a normal debian/rules file is less
confusing imho.
You're welcome to ask all your questions about packaging of
python-related software in #debian-python on the OFTC network, also have
a look into [1] and think about joining the PAPT team to maintian your
packages.
