You have access to the variable $DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE within debian/rules when
using dpkg-buildpackage or the autobuilders. This will give you a string such
as 'i386-linux' or 'alpha-linux' -- if those map well onto your directory
names, you can use the variables directly; if not, you can mangle them as
needed to give you the appropriate directory names.
