I fear you are right here. :)

So this needs to be solved, I did a rebuilt of the packing tree
yesterday again to have a look at the dbconfig-config thingy but we are
currently not able to build some packages we can test by autopkg as
dh_php is not working anymore.

I guess this is not a technical packaging problem as the files in the
debian folder haven't changed since the last working on the packaging
and also it looks a bit suspicions to me that the variable $basename is
empty here "module: "" needs ...".

So I think debhelper or dh-php is now broken.

Package dh-php 0.34 has migrated to testing on 2018-11-10. But I don't
see any related change here were that version change should treat this
problem. The build issue is now also alive with the previous version of
dh-php as I tested out. So I would blame debhelper [1] finally.
My experience and knowledge with Perl is almost zero and also testing
out debhelper down to version 11.5 hasn't "fixed" the problem. A quick
look at the mentioned lines [1] in the log show that these lines haven't
changed since ages. Right now I don't know there I else can take a look
before opening an issue. :/
