And where does one find dh_make?

Searching on goog suggests it would be part of debhelper.  But it isn't:

:; dpkg -L debhelper|grep dh_make
/usr/bin/dh_makeshlibs
/usr/share/man/de/man1/dh_makeshlibs.1.gz
/usr/share/man/fr/man1/dh_makeshlibs.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/dh_makeshlibs.1.gz
/usr/share/man/es/man1/dh_makeshlibs.1.gz

:; dpkg -l|grep debhelp|perl -pe 's/  +/  /g'
ii  debhelper  9.20120909  all  helper programs for debian/rules
