It's an Automake thing, and people who use Automake typically keep this as a
good idea for their non-Automake packages. Oh well :) Redefining prefix etc.
works quite well too.

I've being packaging a program which has a config file. The program uses
autoconf and all the ${bindir}, ${libdir}, etc. type variables. dh_make
produced a debian/rules that worked almost right out of the box b/c it
overloaded the prefix value to specify destinations for the install target.
