Both ways are correct. I usually move needed files using dh_install. You can however patch upstream's makefile. In fact if you want you can rewrite building infrastructure from scratch ;) But maybe asking upstream to make modifications you need would be the easiest way. Just make sure you don't change .orig.tar.gz file. Leave your changes in .diff.gz. regards fEnIo -- ,''`.
