Using a search engine to find Debian docs is likely to find incomplete
and/or outdate docs, so you would probably be better off with searching
/usr/share/doc and the manual pages on your system. Other people have
pointed you to relevant docs that help novice packagers with their steep
learning curve.
That being said, debuild calls dpkg-buildpackage which in turn calls
many other tools, handing off options to the called utilities in a
sensible way as documented in the manual pages. So you might want to
sift through other manual pages as well to find out which tool
eventually processes that -Inothing option in your command.
In over 20 years as Debian Developer, I have never seen this.
