from what i know, dh does not support magic for multiple builds, so you
could either change (fix?) upstream as Julien proposes, or

to get closer to dh, you may wish to override the dh targets and stick
to their respective semantics, if you consider that useful.
so instead of
some_batch_target:
./configure --this; make check; make install DESTDIR=debian/here; make clean
./configure --that; make check: make install DESTDIR=debian/there; make clean
you may want to have
%:; dh %
override_dh_auto_configure:
-mkdir this that
cd this; ../configure --this
cd that; ../configure --that
override_dh_auto_check:
$(MAKE) -C this check
$(MAKE) -C that check
[..]
from there it's also easy to parallelize the independent builds. you get
the idea...
