This may only be a partial help for you (you will still need to specify the /usr/... etc stuff), but this is the method we use in the Debian Perl group to build the path:
PACKAGE = $(shell dh_listpackages)
TMP     = $(CURDIR)/debian/$(PACKAGE)
Using this method, you can substitute $(PACKAGE) for the package name, which may make your rules file a little prettier...

Please see this page for this and other tricks: http://pkg-perl.alioth.debian.org/debhelper.html#note_on_paths

Cheers,
