The build path, several binary paths, and the value of the SHELL
variable are embedded in example Makefiles shipped in the package:

GREP·=·/bin/grep

SHELL·=·/bin/bash

Since these values may differ with the installed system, in order to use
the example Makefiles, a person would have to regenerate them from
Makefile.am or Makefile.in, which are also provided.
The attached patch adjusts debian/rules to remove the Makefiles before
running dh_compress.
If that is somehow not an option, an alternate option would be to
sanitize the Makefiles stripping the build path (or replacing with
/usr/src?), and possibly passing various variables to configure
(e.g. GREP=/bin/grep, SHELL=/bin/sh, ...).
Thanks for maintaining cppunit!
