Debian include-binaries format

Question

I am trying to build a precompiled debian package for my application. Some binaries (compiled modules) are present in my package. Right now, I get an error with the message to add the binaries to debian/source/include-binaries

My problem is that I do not find anything about the format how to add it?

Right now I am using the command

debuild -us -uc

The syntax of this file is quite simple. You just have to specify the path of the binary, and this path has to be relative to the root of the package. You can specify only one binary per line. Here is an example of this file that I've taken from libxml-parser-perl package:

debian/encodings/x-sjis-unicode.enc
debian/encodings/iso-8859-7.enc
debian/encodings/big5.enc
debian/encodings/x-sjis-cp932.enc
debian/encodings/iso-8859-9.enc
