Here is a better patch:

--- a/debian/rules
+++ b/debian/rules
@@ -18,7 +18,8 @@ override_dh_auto_configure:
                        --sysconfdir=/etc
 
 override_dh_auto_install:

        -rm -f $(CURDIR)/debian/advi/usr/bin/advi.byt
 else


The problem is that ./configure does not fill in the latexdir variable,
but until now I couldn't figure out why, and what event exactly has 
triggered this bug to come to the surface.
