This is what I'm doing, actually; after running 'make' normally to
build the package, I run (from debian/rules, i haven't modifed it yet)
# Add here commands to install the package into debian/tmp.
$(MAKE) install prefix=`pwd`/debian/tmp/usr

I don't think this will cause problems with the binary, since $prefix
is not changed during the first run of make, I get
-DICONDIR=\"/usr/share/icons\" and so on when calling gcc. the
'install' rule just includes making directories, copying files, etc.
Am I correct? for now, I'll patch Makefile.in to use '${prefix}'
instead of '@prefix@'.
