Hi,
you posted to the debian developers list. Please send questions of
this kind to [EMAIL PROTECTED] where beginners questions
are welcome (cc is set in this mail).
To answer your question: You have to set the DESTDIR variable when you
install the binaries in the package build directory. Most probably
this means calling "make install --destdir=debian/name-of-package"
instead of just "make install"
