Okay, there are a couple of problems:
The library can't be called 'libgst', it has to have the soname in the
package name, e.g. 'libgst1' or whatever is appropriate. This requires
you to change both rules and control file, and possibly other files thaat
reference it, if any. This is a policy requirement.
When you use debhelper, please use it, don't complicate stuff when you
can easily use dh_* tools to do it :) Instead of saying install -d ``cat
dirs`, simply make the "dirs" file which will contain directories you
need for the first package, the libgst0.dirs which will contain dirs that
libgst0 needs, and gst-doc.dirs which will... you know :)
That method works for the postinst and postrm scripts, too, i.e. you
should have postinst (for gnu-smalltalk package), gst-doc.postinst and
libgst0.postinst (obvious), and the same scheme for the postrm files.
Almost everything can be set up this way, and dh_* tools will read it
automagically.
Use dh_clean to clean the source tree completely from debhelper and
cruft - but when you use it in binary-* rules, then add th e"-k" option,
that will preserve the debian/files file, and fix your problem instantly.
I'm also attaching a modified copy of your rules file in case you didn't
understand how to apply any of the above. :) It may still have errors,
though, check it out.
If you have any more questions, just ask.
