Typically you have:
configure --prefix=/usr
and
make install DESTDIR=$(CURDIR)/debian/tmp
You may need more than just the --prefix option on configure. You can
look in KDE cvs HEAD to see what I have done with arts and kdelibs for
examples.
It is really nice if you use builddir != srcdir, see arts/kdelibs for an
example of that also. I imagine a lot of people don't know about that
feature of autotools.

BTW - dh_make --custom is not a valid argument afaict, you should
probably use dh_make -t.
