I admit what I'm doing is a little beyond my current skill, after all, I'm just a user of Debian not a developer. But I think it is better using apt/dpkg to manage the software/tools I need in my research than just using "./configure && make && make install". I prefer to use the ready-made packages if there is any. I googled, but unfortunately I can't find any.
I find a way to solve the this issue by answering 'b' to the question asked by dh_make, that is using cdbs, then setting the variables DEB_CONFIGURE_EXTRA_FLAGS and DEB_CONFIGURE_PREFIX in debian/rules. I am not sure weather this is the right way or the best way, but at least it works. Thanks anyway!
