Actually, you need both to build a correct debian package. --prefix
is used during ./configure to tell the make system where the program
is going to be installed. For make install you need to set
DESTDIR='pwd'/debian/PACKAGENAME/usr to install everithing.
This is in fact the directory from which the *.deb is build. The trick is,
that you get a *tar.gz inside the deb with the correct paths of all files
when you run tar from within 'pwd'/debian/PACKAGENAME. When installing
the *.deb the tar.gz is extracted within / so all files end up in the
directorys you configured with --prefix in the beginning. Does this help
a bit?
