So you did use dh_make to create the initial content of debian/ ?
What kind of system do you run stable or unstable?
When you are running unstable, the problem might be that DH_COMPAT is set
to 2 in the debian/rules file. Therefore you would have to install all
the binary stuff not in tmp but in into debian/<packagename> where
packagename is the name of the package you are building (without version
numbers and leave the <> away). Then everything should build pretty fine.
I hope that did help you. Otherwise a more specific description
of your build environment would be needed to help you further.
(what debhelper version do you have installed, do you run stable/unstable,
etc.)
