Sounds to me like you haven't properly done the debian/rules file. It's
generally the makefile which compiles and creates all the packages.
Please read:
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-source.html#s-debianrules
And look at all the dh_* scripts in the debian/rules script. Each of them
has a manpage. You may want to read it. E.g. dh_install is copying files
from your source directory into the directory where the Debian package
will be built. And there is a file like debian/$PACKAGE.install which
lists files installed by dh_install.

Those are probably the same names as the binary package that you configured
in your debian/control file.
Showing us your package so far may also help giving you a hint.
