Whilst I understand the rational behind the admin/debianrules my personal 
experience with the three KDE applications (kmerlin, kphone, kfocus) I 
maintain for Debian is that it hasn't been necessary.

The only thing I have had to specify in debian/rules manually is:

export kde_htmldir="\$${prefix}/share/doc/kde/HTML"

Everything else is setup correctly by the normal configure call:

        ./configure --host=$(DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE) \
                        --build=$(DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE) \
                        --prefix=/usr --mandir=\$${prefix}/share/man \
                        --infodir=\$${prefix}/share/info

Am I missing something else by not using admin/debianrules?
