Ahh, sorry.

For sure.  I do not have a "best practices" example, but the last
package I uploaded (yesterday) was mrbayes where the packaging is
available at

   svn://svn.debian.org/svn/debian-med/trunk/packages/mrbayes/trunk/

It has a short debian/rules file and is using two override_* targets
which should make things more clear.  You will find a lot more examples
under

   svn://svn.debian.org/svn/debian-med/trunk/packages

If I'm seeking for examples I'm just doing things like:

   find packages -name rules -exec grep -wH "dh" \{\} \; | grep trunk

and get a lot of Debian Med packages which are using dh.

Feel free to ask further questions if something remains unclear.

Kind regards

       Andreas.
