The skeleton debian/rules for debmake is like this:

	[...]
        debstd
        dpkg-gencontrol
        chown -R root.root debian/tmp
        chmod -R go=rX debian/tmp
        dpkg --build debian/tmp ..

The suid-registering is done in debstd, but the user is free to add
additional chowns or chmods before the dpkg --build line if he/she wishes.

Thanks.
