v2 still suffers from the non-standard perms on usr/ and so on, thus I guess
it'd be simpler to move to the dh workflow rather than to fix what you
currently have.
It's by no means mandatory, but our newly elected Dear Leader is waging a
campaign to make it strongly recommended, especially for new packages. I
quite see why. And I for one prefer packages where a reviewer doesn't have
to fire up the brain to comprehend what's being done. :)
(But again, it's no cdbs nor waf -- I'd gladly review either approach.)

Yeah, it assumes autotools' quirks. If that's a concern, you do:
override_dh_auto_configure:
dh_auto_configure --some --params
or:
override_dh_auto_configure:
./configure --foo --bar
The man page says:
# This is intended to work for about 90% of packages. If it doesn't work,
# you're encouraged to skip using dh_auto_configure at all, and just run
# ./configure or its equivalent manually.

Either way would work.
Meow!
