debian/ shouldn't have any subdirectories.  Here's how it should go,
assuming that your source package is called meschach:

upstream:
meschach-1.2.3/meschach/...
              /doc/...
              /lib/...
              /...

added:
meschach-1.2.3/debian/preinst
                     /postinst
                     /prerm
                     /docs
                     /examples
                     /meschach-dev.postinst
                     /meschach-dev.docs

And all of the the *{pre,post}{inst,rm} should have a #DEBHELPER# line
in them.
