Raphael, on behalf of the dpkg maintainers, does not seem to agree.

I don't think triggers.txt.gz (or deb-triggers(5), if it remains)
should mention anything to do with debhelper.  Note that debhelper is
an optional tool used for some (even, many) packages, but is not part
of the core infrastructure.

Where did you look in the debhelper documentation ?
