This may only be a partial help for you (you will still need to specify the
/usr/... etc stuff), but this is the method we use in the Debian Perl group
to build the path:
PACKAGE = $(shell dh_listpackages)
TMP = $(CURDIR)/debian/$(PACKAGE)
Using this method, you can substitute $(PACKAGE) for the package name,
which may make your rules file a little prettier...
Please see this page for this and other tricks:
