If "$y" always comes at the end of "$x" and (you said the content is a path) is preceeded by a slash ("/") you could use the shells variable expansion feature to trim "$x" accordingly and compare if it equals to "$y". "${x##*/}" suppresses every content of "$x" up to the last slash:
Note that "equal" means just "equal in the mentioned regard".

dh_clean
DH_CLEAN(1) Debhelper DH_CLEAN(1)NAME
dh_clean - clean up package build directories
SYNOPSIS
dh_clean [debhelperoptions] [-k] [-d] [-Xitem] [path...]
DESCRIPTION
dh_clean is a debhelper program that is responsible for cleaning up after a package is built. It removes the package build directories, and
removes some other files including debian/files, and any detritus left behind by other debhelper commands. It also removes common files
that should not appear in a Debian diff:
#*# *~ DEADJOE *.orig *.rej *.SUMS TAGS .deps/* *.P *-stamp
It does not run "make clean" to clean up after the build process. Use dh_auto_clean(1) to do things like that.
dh_clean should be the last debhelper command run in the clean target in debian/rules.
FILES
debian/clean
Can list other paths to be removed.
Note that directories listed in this file must end with a trailing slash. Any content in these directories will be removed as well.
OPTIONS -k, --keep
This is deprecated, use dh_prep(1) instead.
The option is removed in compat 12.
-d, --dirs-only
Only clean the package build directories, do not clean up any other files at all.
-Xitem --exclude=item
Exclude files that contain item anywhere in their filename from being deleted, even if they would normally be deleted. You may use this
option multiple times to build up a list of things to exclude.
path ...
Delete these paths too.
Note that directories passed as arguments must end with a trailing slash. Any content in these directories will be removed as well.
SEE ALSO debhelper(7)
This program is a part of debhelper.
