Do exactly the same!

CDBS and short-form dh7[1] are two approaches to automating *general* 
parts of the build and packaging routines, and providing hooks for 
expressing exceptions and custom additions to those general parts.

debian/bpg.conf is not tied to either debhelper or CDBS, but (as the 
name hints) to git-buildpackage.  You can add that configuration file no 
matter which of the automation tools you use, or even if you (painfully) 
choose to use none of them but express all build and packaging routines 
explicitly.


Hope that helps,

[1] debhelper in general does *not* conflict with CDBS, but is actually 
in most if not all cases used together with CDBS.  Only when using the 
"short form" which was introduced in version 7 do debhelper take over 
the build routines as well, not only the final packaging routines.
