No.  Do the following in debian/rules:
	chmod 2755 /usr/bin/jwhois
	# at some later point
	dh_suidregister
	# and later still
	dh_fixperms

Now you have three possibilities for what to do next:

(1) Nothing.  dh_suidregister will search for any files which have
    their suid or sgid bits set and register them.

(2) Create a debian/suid file with the single line
/usr/bin/jwhois

(3) Specify this on the dh_suidregister command line, so replace the
    line in debian/rules with:
	dh_suidregister /usr/bin/jwhois

HTH,
