Actually, you could use different build directories:

configure: configure-a configure-b

configure-a:
        dh_testdir
        mkdir build-a
        cd build-a && ../configure --flags
        touch $@

configure-b:
        dh_testdir
        mkdir build-b
        cd build-b && ../configure --otherflags
        touch $@

build: build-a build-b

build-a: configure-a
        cd build-a && make

build-b: configure-b
        cd build-b && make


etc etc.

This way you don't need to erase one version to build the other.
