The creation of a Debian package is — quite deliberately — not an
automated process [0]. There are many human decisions to be made, in
order to work well with the rest of Debian, and to conform with Debian
Policy.

The general answer is: This is the work of a maintainer, so learn how to
do that <URL:https://mentors.debian.net/intro-maintainers>.
The specific answer for NumPy is: Use the existing packages
<URL:https://packages.debian.org/source/sid/python-numpy> and/or
collaborate with the existing maintainers.
[0] Of course, there are many tools to help with those small steps that
are mechanical and *can* be automated. But these do not by any
measure automate the “start with upstream work, end with Debian
package” process.
