These are the same as docs, files etc. for single binary packages, but 
they tell debhelper which are the docs, files etc. for the names pkg
of the two you have.

So lets take "dirs". With one binary package you have the file "dirs"
you use to create the directory you need in the debian/tmp dir with
dh_installdirs.

If you have multi binary package,

dirs or firstpackage.dirs   will install the dirs for the first package
                            in debian/tmp

secondpackage.dirs          will install the dirs for the second
                            package in debian/secondpackage 

etc.

You could take a look at wxftp which creates wxftp-gtk and wxftp-doc.
