debmake doesn't make the build script it is include in the debmake package. Or was. I forget exactly when but somewhere down the line build and other scripts were moved into their own package called devscripts. (The current version of "Creating a package with debmake" mentions you need devscripts btw.) Installing this package will fix most of your problems I should think.
I wonder if your problem with the #ifdef might be due to the change from libc5 to libc6 in hamm? libc6 changed some things drastically so what where the right includes may now be the wrong ones. -- Jaldhar H.
