I started using cdbs for other packages and I must say that it is really
great.  In particular, if the package is well written for using
autoconf/automake/libtool, then we can get almost everything working with
CDBS with minimal debian/* files.

I would try first CDBS.  If that does not work, then dh-make.  As regards
compatibility with the DOG Guidelines, I would say there should be no
problems.
