Have you tried
$(MAKE) install prefix=$(CURDIR)/debian/package
$(MAKE) -C subdir install prefix=$(CURDIR)/debian/package
?? It /should/ work - with the "prefix=..." you are telling the
Makefile "I compiled the program to be *run* from /usr/bin/, but
please don't install it there now, install it in
$(CURDIR)/debian/package/usr/bin/ instead".
However, if the compiled programs end up in /bin instead of /usr/bin
when you install your package, you will have to use
$(MAKE) install prefix=$(CURDIR)/debian/package/usr
$(MAKE) -C subdir install prefix=$(CURDIR)/debian/package/usr
For a few (usually big/complicated) programs, "prefix=" doesn't work
and you have to use "DESTDIR=" instead. If the package's Makefile
mentions "DESTDIR" anywhere, use:
$(MAKE) install DESTDIR=$(CURDIR)/debian/package
$(MAKE) -C subdir install DESTDIR=$(CURDIR)/debian/package
BTW, it'd be cool if dh_make auto-detected the use of DESTDIR!
Cheers,
Richard
