If you used dh-make to debianize the source, or really doesn't matter
what you used, dh-make is just the 'current' way to do things. Anyway,
check your install target in debian/rules. If you are using
DH_COMPAT={2,3} then you should install to DESTDIR=`pwd`/debian/$pkg/usr, if
you have DH_COMPAT=1 use DESTDIR=`pwd`/debian/tmp/usr.
Sounds like you may be using DESTDIR=`pwd`/debian ?
