Your rules file has some problems with it.
You will need to look more into packaging, believe me it is not a simple 
thing to untangle old rules files without understanding what all the 
debhelper things do.

a simple rules file like this might work.. though I am not making your 
package, so there are many things you will have to take into account and 
learn about before trying to fix everything.


#!/usr/bin/make -f

DH_CMAKE_BUILD_DIR=obj    -${DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE}
DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH ?= $(shell dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)

%:
     dh $@ --buildsystem cmake

override_dh_auto_configure:
     dh_auto_configure -- -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)


You will need to amend your depends to use dh9.  Without looking at your 
debian folder I cannot really tell you much more than that.
Do you have a branch on launchpad.  It would be helpful to post a link 
to your source code in order for anyone else to be able to help you....  
Of course I do not know what the cmake script is either, so my rules 
file may be useless to you.
I*highly* suggest reading more about packaging, as it is very 
complicated unless you understand what is going on.
Debian has a mentoring program as well.  It may be a good idea to try to 
package something simple first as a test.
