Nice, I've added you to the science-team.

Yes. Debian Science (and all other teams I'm aware of) are migrating to
debhelper with short dh. You have an example in the just uploaded

Dh is considered simpler and more transparent. If you might have
serious trouble either I (or someone from the Debian Science team who
might beat me) will do this for you. I need to admit my time to do so
is extremely limited between 24.12. and 6.1. but I'm sure we'll manage
in the team somehow.
