If you look at the source package racket-mode, then you have a look at

debian/elpa

and

debian/racket-mode-pkg.el

both of these files are discussed in dh_elpa(1), but I guess
debian/elpa can be something like

quilt.el
debian/quilt-mode-pkg.el

and you can probably guess at the metadata in debian/quilt-mode-pkg.el

I'm not a quilt user, so I'd bow out of pursuing this with
upstream. Maybe someone else on the list is interested/

Feel free to drop by #debian-emacs (irc.oftc.net) with questions about
dh_elpa. Or ask here.
