I am an advocate of having a proper "debianrules" file. My basic configure 
strings all look like:
./configure $(configkde)
Where configkde takes care of giving the options needed for KDE.

Actually, how it often looks like this:

	$(COMPILER_FLAGS) AWK=gawk AUTOMAKE=automake-1.6 \
	./configure $(configkde)

Which supplies compiler flags for various platforms, chooses the correct 
compiler command string, and also selects the correct automake version.
AWK=gawk maybe is not needed, since gawk is supposedly default always. But 
before I got bitten by that not being the case, so it often sits there in my 
rules files. AUTOMAKE has to be specified, depending on which automake 
version was used by upstreams.

If I am changing compiler from g++-2.95 to 3.x, update for other qt options, 
or whatever,  I only need to make changes in the debianrules file, which 
maybe best should be in a central place supplied by kdelibs-dev.
