$ ls -1 debian/ [...] dhcpcd-base.examples dhcpcd-base.install dhcpcd-base.postinst dhcpcd-base.postrm dhcpcd.dhcpcd.init dhcpcd.dhcpcd.service dhcpcd.dhcpcd@.service dhcpcd.lintian-overrides dhcpcd.preinst [...] See these, for instance. debhelper applies them according to their prefix to targets dhcpcd-base and dhcpcd, respectively.
