..to do it "the good old Debian way", what are the missing stages
that would prevent a "make deb && dpkg -i hopman" from working?

.."the good old Debian way" would allow both "dpkg -P hopman",
"dpkg -r hopman" and "apt remove hopman" etc, using the apt
database to help avoid conflicts etc with other software.
