Hmm... have you changed directory to srv.el before running dh-make-elpa?
Because I cannot reproduce this, see:

$ git clone -o upstream https://github.com/legoscia/srv.el
$ cd srv.el/
$ dh-make-elpa --pkg-emacsen
I: couldn't generate d/docs: not fully implemented
$ ls
debian  srv.el
$ ls debian/
changelog  control  copyright  elpa  gbp.conf  rules  source  watch

Cheers!
