deb-make is largely obsolete. Use dh_make instead (from the dh-make package). >and dpkg-buildpackage.

Edit debian/rules, where the 'build' target (or, in newer versions of dh-make, the 'configure' target) should be calling configure. You might be best off asking questions like these on the debian-mentors mailing list. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
