dpkg-buildpackage definitely *does not* do this. However, debstd (from
debmake) does provide this function. Are you calling debstd in your
rules file?

Well, I don't think you want to copy it to debian/tmp/etc/cron.weekly
:-), but if you just copy it to to ...ip-{up,down}.d, it should do what
you want -- there's nothing magic being done here, it's just that the
cron stuff is common enough that debstd automates it.
