Including *.o files or that dir sounds like missing or improper cleanup
(=packaging error), but let's not digress, the bottom line is this: IINM you
don't need to touch anything in the .pro file, you just need to

a) specify both dev and binary packages in the debian/control file, one
after the other.
b) have a debian/libirccclient-qt-dev.install file that says something like
'usr/include' (do NOT include the libs !)
c) have a debian/libirccclient-qt.install file that says something like
'usr/lib/libircwhatever.so'

Considering you should already have all files in debian/tmp that's it,
everything else is taken care of by debhelper (dh_install copies over the
files specified in install from debian/tmp into per-package directories
which are then later put into separate debs by dh_builddeb)
