As I understand Policy, Built-Using: should mention any packages,
parts of which were incorporated into binary package, including any
debhelper, that insert shell snippets into maintainer scripts,
flex/bison.
There is some controversy about Built-Using, some say it is only for
packages that embed code/data that is under copyleft licenses like the
GNU GPL, not for everything. Other folks would like to use it for more
things, such as static linking.
Either way, putting debhelper in B-U just because it generated
maintainer scripts would be something novel.
Which debhelper is used to create this field
The field is created manually, you can see some examples here:

Yes, and this is rather cumbersome. :-\

Also, dh_buildinfo is superseded by .buildinfo files from the
