read the documentation and ask again

here a short hint:

to build debian directory and files run from within the package directory 

dh_make 
cd debian

edit all the files (the once you need - you'll know which and how after
you've read the docs)

cd ..

execute 

dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -d -us -uc -nc -ai386

man dpkg-buildpackage for the options
