Yes, you're missing libsqlite3-dev.  You also have to uncomment the
.install file :-)

No.  One easy way to do it:

build-stamp:
	...
        $(MAKE) OPTFLAG=$(OPTFLAG) LDFLAGS="$(LDFLAGS)" messages=yes
# Relink only DBModeler and GDL2Palette to avoid binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath.
        for d in DBModeler GDL2Palette; do \
          $(RM) $$d/$$d.app/$$d $$d/GDL2.palette/GDL2; \
          $(MAKE) -C $$d OPTFLAG=$(OPTFLAG) messages=yes \
          LDFLAGS="$(LDFLAGS) -Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib/gnustep-dl2"; \
        done
	...

install:
	...
        $(MAKE) install GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DOMAIN=SYSTEM DESTDIR=$(DEST_DIR)
        $(RM) $(DEST_DIR)/usr/lib/libEOModeler*
        $(MAKE) -C EOModeler install DESTDIR=$(DEST_DIR) \
          GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_LIBRARIES=/usr/lib/gnustep-dl2 \
          GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DOMAIN=SYSTEM
	...

(Of course you should amend the .install file accordingly.)


Some more comments:

* Why do you install the shlibs manually?  AFAICS this is sufficient:
  
    dh_makeshlibs -V -plibgnustep-dl2-0

* Likewise, why you specify the -n argument to dh_makeshlibs and
  manually create postinst/postrm scripts with ldconfig invocation?
  Just delete them and let debhelper do its job.

* You don't need any options to dh_shlibdeps.

* There is a circular dependency between libgnustep-dl2-0 and the
  adaptor packages.  Unfortunately I can't see a way to avoid it.

* The dependency on gorm.app can be relaxed to Recommends, I think.

* The preinst script is broken -- delete "System" from the paths.
