I usually do something like this:
install_zipped = gzip -9vc
package = poster
rootdir = $(shell pwd)/debian/tmp
docdir = $(rootdir)/usr/doc/$(package)
bindir = $(rootdir)/usr/bin
man1dir = $(rootdir)/usr/man/man1
...
$(install_zipped) poster.1 > $(man1dir)/poster.1.gz
That is, I use variables which contain absolute paths determined
dynamically.
That snippet was from poster's debian/rules.
