Did you really fail to build from source?

As far as I tried, there was no problem and generated (top) Makefile
contained the line

mandir = ${prefix}/share/man/man$(manext)

so, I guessed, 

make install prefix=`pwd`/debian/tmp/usr texmf=`pwd`/debian/...

seemed enough to provide the correct mandir.

Am I missing some important point?
