afaiu, it's more about replacing the upstream build-system than about the
actually used "debian build system".
e.g.
<cdbs>
include /usr/share/cdbs/1/class/makefile.mk
DEB_MAKE_MAKEFILE=/usr/share/pd-pkg-tools/Makefile
</cdbs>

and
<dh>
%:
        dh $@ --buildsystem=makefile

dh_auto_build_override:
	dh_auto_build -- -f /usr/share/pd-pkg-tools/Makefile
</dh>

or similar (i prefer using cdbs, so i would need to read a bit more about how to
properly do it in dh)

the interesting question is, whether /usr/share/pd-pkg-tools/Makefile is indeed
a good idea and should be done; whether this makefile is then used with CDBS or
dh is another question
personally i would be fine with doing it in CDBS; however others might not
agree, and hans has chosen to use dh rather than cdbs, and i would rather accept
his decision;
given that there are about 20 or more packages, and they are maintained by
several people (the pkgs are all maintained by p-m-m, but still several people
are primarily responsible for the pkgs), i would thus prefer a build-system
agnostic solution rather than have futile discussions on vi/cdbs vs emacs/dh.

PS: but of course the big pro for cdbs is, that its main maintainer is active
here and changes get into the pkg incredibly fast - e.g. my pd.mk snippet
(which, to repeat myself, ended up to NOT be a replacement for the upstream
makefile but rather a debian build system amendement)

PPS: ach ja, and of course i would gladly volunteer to do pd-pkg-tools.
