I'm doing it slightly differently, using the --builddirectory parameter of 
dh:

------ debian/rules abstract -----
override_dh_auto_configure: o_d_auto_conf_a o_d_auto_conf_b 

o_d_auto_conf_a:
	mkdir -p build-a
	dh_auto_configure --builddirectory=build-a -- \
		--with-a-specifics

o_d_auto_conf_b:
	mkdir -p build-b
	dh_auto_configure --builddirectory=build-b -- \
		--with-b-specifics
------ debian/rules abstract -----

Then mimick this at least in :
	override_dh_auto_build
	override_dh_auto_install
	override_dh_auto_test

And add rm -rf build-* to override_dh_auto_clean.
