Indeed. I think you could hack around that by something like that:
$(MAKE)
for pyvers in $(PYVERS); do \
$(MAKE) -C bindings clean ; \
PYTHON=python$(pyvers) ./configure $(configure_flags) ;\
$(MAKE) -C bindings ;\
mv bindings/_Hamlib.so bindings/_Hamlib.py$(pyvers).so ;\
done
and then install every _Hamlib.py*.so in the
relevant /usr/lib/python*/site-packages directories.

Unfortunately, many docs are trying to make things look complicated
while they are not. Except for some rare cases, the only things that can
really be an issue are to specify the supported python versions and to
build the package for all python versions. All the rest should be dealt
with by the debhelper scripts.

Here is a simple version that rebuilds everything for all python
versions.
BTW, there seems to be a lot of other issues with the package; having a
simple look at the list of lintian errors is scary enough. Not talking
about the incorrect emptiness of the binary-indep target, or the
unnecessary complexity of installing everything by hand.
