There is no point do "debianize" Isabelle: it is a plain user-space
application program, not a system component.
You should be able to achive the above without deb packaging like this:
* unpack the Isabelle tar.gz
* run "Isabelle/bin/isabelle build -s -b HOL" (or any other images
that users might need)
* copy the result to the target (e.g. via "cp -a" or as a tar.gz)
Here "Isabelle" refers to any Isabelle distribution from recent years:
it is normal that Isabelle users have more than one of it active.
Also note that "isabelle build" uses SHA1 hash keys on the sources, not
datestamps.
