Writing a bunch of 'cp' or 'install' commands in the 'debian/rules' file seems like drudgery and is certainly prone to error. What tools are there to assist Debian packagers in making this task more automated?

Well, "make install" typically puts them somewhere - see the use of CURDIR in the new maintainers guide, like at http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ch-dreq.en.html .

Does that help some? You should check out http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ if you haven't yet.
