So I did have a look and the problem is that your package doesn't contain any
usr/lib/R/site-library/shiny/www/shared/jqueryui/images to replace
with some real files.
I added this to check it:
install/$(package)::
+ find $(debRlib)
dh_linktree
And the output for contains this for the jqueryui directory:
/home/rhertzog/tmp/r-cran-shiny/debian/r-cran-shiny/usr/lib/R/site-library/shiny/www/shared/jqueryui
/home/rhertzog/tmp/r-cran-shiny/debian/r-cran-shiny/usr/lib/R/site-library/shiny/www/shared/jqueryui/README
/home/rhertzog/tmp/r-cran-shiny/debian/r-cran-shiny/usr/lib/R/site-library/shiny/www/shared/jqueryui/jquery-ui.theme.min.css
/home/rhertzog/tmp/r-cran-shiny/debian/r-cran-shiny/usr/lib/R/site-library/shiny/www/shared/jqueryui/jquery-ui.structure.css
/home/rhertzog/tmp/r-cran-shiny/debian/r-cran-shiny/usr/lib/R/site-library/shiny/www/shared/jqueryui/jquery-ui.theme.css
/home/rhertzog/tmp/r-cran-shiny/debian/r-cran-shiny/usr/lib/R/site-library/shiny/www/shared/jqueryui/index.html
/home/rhertzog/tmp/r-cran-shiny/debian/r-cran-shiny/usr/lib/R/site-library/shiny/www/shared/jqueryui/jquery-ui.structure.min.css
No "images" directory to replace. Are you sure that you need it?

That's because nothing got replaced really... the files that you ask to replace
do not exist.
