You know, I tried almost exactly this but bailed when one of the
commands wanted root priviledges and then started doing some
unexpected /usr/bin/install's (which failed because my
/usr/bin/install is atypical). I mean, all I wanted was to build a
package to generate a .deb not *install* it or do *anything* that
would require root privileges.
I'll give the other poster's make suggestion a shot.

IIRC all it took to build SRPMS is one single rpm command.
