I saw in the log,

   ...
   dh_installdirs
   debian/rules override_dh_auto_install
make[1]: Entering directory '/export/build/pkg/ddclient/bld/
ddclient-3.8.2'
install -m 755 ddclient \
  /usr/sbin/ddclient
install -D -m 755 debian/ddclient.NetworkManager \
  /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/50-ddclient
dh_auto_install
make[1]: Leaving directory '/export/build/pkg/ddclient/bld/ddclient-3.8.2'
   dh_installdocs
   ...

Seems to me that DESTDIR is empty. Wouldn't dh_make/debuild set DESTDIR 
at the beginning of the build? 

Thanks
