As to the debian.org guides, I've always found them obtuse precisely because they emphasise what you've got to do to get a package distributed, rather than the plain technical details of how they work.
And nobody is hiding from you any tutorial - Debian is an open community and the wiki is open to everyone so you can search for what you need but I really don't see the point in your sentences (are you saying that we should favorite somehow quick and dirty hacks instead of our strict high-quality ways of building packages? Because if yes, then Debian wouldn't be what it is today...)
Second: saying that Debian's tutorials are less useful because they have specific goal of high quality - makes me really sad. Debian is community and not corporation, so to see that community has higher standard then any corporation should be praised. Also Debian's packaging evolved over 20+ years by thousands of hackers (experts in their field) all over world in their unique collaboration. I am sure this should be taken as a pride that you can go on net an read such tutorials.
And really, if someone thinks he is technical but can't read few pages of not so demanding tutorial, then problem is in them because in software world you evolve every day and need to read and code a lot to keep a pace. Only problem that you could say is that maybe isn't that fun to read (because Debian wikis are old school so the sentences stretch through entire screen while today's web is focused on centering all which makes it a bit easy to read and so on).
