Its not created by dh_make.  dh_make just creates some template files
in ./debian/ (many of which are usually deleted).  All of them need to
be edited to be useful.

dh_installdeb creates stuff in ./DEBIAN/, and dh_builddeb builds a
.deb out of it.  Read the manpages for all the dh_* programs in
dh_makes's default ./debian/rules
