You are not allowed to write to /usr.
What you really wanted to write here is:
/usr/bin/make install DESTDIR="debian/tmp/usr/src/libkemo-m104-1"
to install to a temporary directory debian/tmp.

I think you should carefully read the New Maintainer Guide.

Hint: If you really intent to build a package you perhaps should file an
ITP bug report against wnpp.
