Well, the error message is actually quite concise :). It tells you
that the file etc/pam.d/mate-screensaver is copied into the temporary
staging directory for the package but you are not telling dh_install
into which package this file is supposed to be installed.

So, if you know where /etc/pam.d/mate-screensaver belongs to, you
add the filename to the debian/<package>.install file (<package>
being the name of the package where /etc/pam.d/mate-screensaver
should be copied into) and the error should go away and the package
should build fine.
