I'm not a DD, but I have a bit of advice: it seems that new users commonly will leave a file like debian/dirs in place because dh_make put it there. If you don't know what these files do, you can find out from the man pages for various debhelper commands. You can easily guess what manual page covers what you're looking for, i.e. *install are related to dh_install, *dirs are related to dh_installdirs, *cron are related to dh_installcron.
To make multiple binary packages, I usually use .install files to handle which files go to each package. There's a relevant paragraph about this at [1], but it's pretty short. Also note that dh_install has --list-missing and --fail-missing options that might help you catch files that you forgot to install (though I haven't tried them yet, so I could be wrong).
