This isn't really needed yet, packaging Debian packages is technically 
always the same.
You seems to have a general problem to understand what is the basic 
workflow, what are the steps, what are the various files in the debian/ 
folders are for, what are the constraints and relationships of these 
files and how the low level tools work together. You need to work on 
this first before starting to dive into special handling for different 
languages done by the helper tools.

So Mechtilde pointed correctly to the

New Maintainer Guide:
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/

and to the
Developer Reference:
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/

Asking meta questions (It's not working, what do I wrong?) isn't 
helpful, ask specific questions and describe what you already did befor 
you encountered the problem.

Starting with Debian packaging isn't a easy thing and there is *not* the 
one way to do it right. And there are for sure hundreds of HowTos out 
there. You will need to try a few of them and chose in the end the 
workflow that fit's best for you.

git-buildpackage is one of the high level tools that can and should 
packaging tasks easier, to use it effective you will need to know what 
it is doing under the hood, means you need to be familiar with the low 
level tools that getting called by gbp.
