fakeroot debian/rules clean gave error exit status 126 when trying to compile source code

Using the instructions found here, I have been trying to create source code from a python file using debhelper. I have reached the final step, where you have to enter:

$ debuild -us -uc

However, when I enter this command, I get the output:

/usr/bin/fakeroot: debian/rules: /usr/bin/make: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules clean gave error exit status 126

How can I get this to compile correctly?

EDIT: Here are the contents of my debian/rules file:

#!/usr/bin/make -f

%:

    dh $@

if dpkg -l | grep -q '^iis+makes'; then

    sudo apt-get --reinstall install make

else

    sudo apt-get install make
