>From our production experience the cleanest way to build a package is gbp
(which heavily relies on git structure with source code). You can create
required git structure by importing src package (gbp supports this) and
building from this git.

It's pdbuilder underneath, which in turn uses dpkg-buildpackage, but gpb
controls the cleannes of the build area.
