I haven't looked at the package bug I try to help by commenting on your
question

An ITP bug is an Intent To Package bug against WNPP pseudo package in
the Debian bug tracker [1], telling the community that you are working
on a package. Relevant parties are subscribed to bugs for that package
and can comment on things like description and possible license issues.
You should look there first to see if somebody is already working on the
same package to avoid duplicate work. The first and only line in your
changelog should than be: "Initial release (closes #xxx)"

Other packages should create their own directories if needed. What is
the specific use case for the users, that they cannot create the
directories.
