It's a great way!
I still believe the fixes I suggested need to be applied if they haven't
been yet.

That's great! In this case I encourage you to take a look at
git-buildpackage. :)
A.
PS: regarding native vs non-native package, what I often do is that I
maintain a different repository for the debian meta-data. For example,
even though I am a maintainer in the Drush project, I chose to split out
the debian directory in a separate git repository because:
a) it allows non-drush people to maintain the package
b) it makes it possible to maintain different *branches* for the
package (say stable and dev) and merge packaging changes between them
*without* merging stable in the upstream source code
c) it makes it easier for Ubuntu or other non-Debian people to make
changes to the package
See the drush package here:
http://git.debian.org/git/collab-maint/drush.git
It also uses git-buildpackage.
