Yes, there was such a file, and also a
/usr/share/doc/debhelper/examples/rules.multi2.

Both seem logical if you understand the logic. I don't. :( I have no idea
where to plug in my package names and get it to build packages like:

	foo
	foo-data
	foo-moredata1
	foo-moredataN

What documentation would be good to read? There are such a wealth of
files, tools, utilities, helpers and whatnot that all has separate
documentation, I have just no idea where to start.

Any ideas, anyone?
