I had that experience. Then I found these convenient pages on the Debian wiki instead:
https://wiki.debian.org/IntroDebianPackaging https://wiki.debian.org/HowToPackageForDebian https://wiki.debian.org/UpstreamGuideand suddenly it all felt much more civilized. (Honestly, getting my Makefile and hand-rolled configure script "up to code" were more hassle than the actual process of Debianizing it once I had my DESTDIR support and out-of-tree build support implemented.)
