It took me quite a while to actually understand how Debian packaging works; I haven't really found any good, approachable documentation that explains the concept behind it. Once I thought I understood it, I've tried to write it down myself, in book form. In case it helps, you can get it here for free for a while: https://leanpub.com/debian/c/hn-2024-01 https://leanpub.com/debian/c/hn-2024-01 But to be honest, even though I think I have a pretty good grasp how it works overall, I still sometimes run into hard-to-debug problems, or I think I know which hook to use, but it still doesn't work, inexplicably. dh is very flexible, to the point of sometimes being maybe too flexible to fully understand.
