But not too many of them :)

dh_link fixes existing links, so I usually keep this one
unconditionally.  I also keep the following, minimally:

  dh_installchangelogs  # Installs changelog.Debian
  dh_installdocs        # Installs copyright
  dh_link               # Fixes existing things
  dh_strip              # Fixes existing things
  dh_compress           # Fixes existing things
  dh_fixperms           # Fixes existing things
  dh_installdeb         # Does necessary things
  dh_shlibdeps          # Does things that shouldn't ever hurt, and
                        # fills in the ${misc:shlibsdepends} variable
                        # or whatever so I don't see noise from dpkg
  dh_gencontrol         # Does necessary things
  dh_md5sums            # Does best-practice things
  dh_builddeb           # The thing itself
