It sounds like you may have a configure file there. It really depends
on what sort of configure file you got as there are many and sometimes
the options are smiliar but use different keywords.
Look for something like <lib-name>-config.in to see what the variables
are called, you might see things like HEADER_DIRECTORY or similar. Then
look at the configure script to see if there is some flag you can use to
shift it.
Perhaps it could be as simple as
./configure --includedir=\$${prefix}/include/<lib-name>
on debian/rules (I think I got the escapes right)
