Nope; you want DESTDIR to be something like
$(CURDIR)/debian/rtl8180/lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/kernel/wireless
which installs stuff at build time into a subdirectory of the debian
dir. You might want to initially install to "tmp" instead, and then
move stuff around yourself.

Just put it into ./debian/$packagename/usr/sbin

You'll have to write a manpage to document the sbin scripts, though.
