Hmm, the OP asked how to do that with make targets. While I personally do it with a shell script and Debian packaging tools, I don't see any principal difference between putting an extra rule into the makefile vs. shell script (although the latter does have its advantages). But thanks for the culture bit. With kind regards, Baurzhan.
