Simply add any directories you would like to be already created before
the "make install" in debian/rules (binary-arch).

It is a debmake-specific feature.
It is used in debian/rules in this fashion (more or less):
cd debian/tmp; install -d `cat ../dirs`
I usually change that to something like this:
cd debian/tmp;install -d usr/bin usr/doc/$(package)
This way, I do not need this `dirs' file and debian/rules is slightly more
self-contained (so you don't have to see the contents of another file to
see what it does).
