use override_dh_autoinstall

-- 8< --- example: debian/rules -------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/make -f

override_dh_auto_install:
        python setup.py install --install-layout=deb \
            --root $(CURDIR)/debian/python-xyzclient
        mkdir -p $(CURDIR)/debian/python-xyzserver/usr/share/pyshared/xyz
        mv \
          $(CURDIR)/debian/python-xyzclient/usr/share/pyshared/xyz/server.py \
          $(CURDIR)/debian/python-xyzserver/usr/share/pyshared/xyz/
        ...

%:
        dh $@ --with python2 --buildsystem=python_distutils
-- 8< ---------------------------------------------------------------------

override_dh_autobuild would be too early, sorry for the confusion. You
basically prepare the files for each binary package in a separate
subdirectory of your debian/ directory. Debhelper's dh sequencer takes care
of building the proper binary packages. Be aware that package names like
python-xyzserver and python-xyzclient are not compliant with the Debian
Python policy (they should be named python-<modulename> and you should have
separate modules for client and server to allow this split in a policy
conforming way).
