Yes,

the problem was indeed related to
an environment variable.

The variable:

          MAKELEVEL

In the file:

           sr_unix/comlist.mk

in line 48:

           ifeq ($(MAKELEVEL),2)

that controls a section of code up to line 91.

To address this, I'm now trying to patch
the source code.

So I read the section on patching:

http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/modify.en.html#fixupstream

for it, installed "dquilt".

          apt-get install quilt

but...
end up manually generated the patch and
added it to the debian/patches directory.

This moves us one step forward on building
the package, when calling "debuild".

I still have to verify whether the resulting build
produces the binaries that are expected...
