i can't find my /etc/*.conf files

[Pratik Sinha <prtk-lists@deeproot.co.in>]

This is my first packaging experience...i read the New Maintainers Guide
and the debmake documentation...earlier i tried my hand out at making a
few rpms...

i tried packaging cups....however i didn't get a satisfactory result...all
the conf files that should be there in /etc/ are missing....i even tried
to give it as an option to configure

Below is my rules file

-- 
#!/usr/bin/make -f
# Sample debian/rules that uses debhelper.
# GNU copyright 1997 to 1999 by Joey Hess.

# Uncomment this to turn on verbose mode.
#export DH_VERBOSE=1

# This is the debhelper compatability version to use.
export DH_COMPAT=1
