I believe it is a bit too soon for this. Currently we only have this one 
outrageously simple Godot package which is probably not representative. 
I'm thinking of [1] and non-standard assets builds.

I would wait until we get a couple non-trivial games and consider 
integration with dh_auto_make/dh_auto_install/etc.
(Similarly Ren'Py is packaged but we have yet to get a single 
independent packaged game for it :/)

Thanks for pointing this out (this was also reported to me off-list).

I reworked the packaging a bit to clarify the build and install phases.
This may even be simpler/clearer now :)

Cheers!
