Sorry for butting in, but that seems unwise: AFAIK, the "--prefix"
string's purpose is to tell where the software will be installed on the
user's machine. Some paths may get hardcoded into your software, and
you'll be sad if your binary ends up looking for icons or the like
in /home/me/debian/whatever.
I believe the Right Thing (TM) to do is
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
DESTDIR=$(DESTDIR) make install
Might be wrong though, and if the software doesn't use helper files it
doesn't matter anyway.
