"Building my own Debian package" is what is *less* work for me,
because everything like uids, dependencies on and from other packages
continue to work, etc. So this is my prefered route, because it's
usually just downloading the source package, making the changes I
need, adjusting the changelog (plus using a version number that makes
sure my package is not overriden by an upgrade), compiling and it just
works as it should. But that might be influnced that I'm quite
familiar with Debians package format. However I'm happy I hadn't need
to do that for quite some time now.
