Hi Thomas, the `DEBIAN` directory is created in the process of building in binary packages. In the binary packages themselves, its contents become the contents of the `control.tar.gz` member. For a package "p", the file DEBIAN/triggers is installed in `/var/lib/dpkg/info/p.triggers`. You can find many real examples there. In particular, for libraries complying with the Policy, you will see that this file indeed "activate-noawait" the "ldconfig" trigger. For packages built using Debhelper, the triggers files is added by `dh_makeshlibs`, which explains why you can not see traces of it in the clean source package. I hope it clarifies.
