I suspect that the problem is that:
usr/lib/deskbar-applet/deskbar-applet/modules-2.20-compatible
should really be just:
usr/lib/deskbar-applet//modules-2.20-compatible
and somewhere in the debian/rules, debian/libdeskbar-tracker.install files that gets mixed up
(or it might be a side effect of the python helper tools)

  * debian/control:
    - add missing Replaces on deskbar-applet for libdeskbar-tracker
      (LP: #474324) because deskbar-applet changed its modulesdir
      in version 2.27.92-0ubuntu1
