You should look at what gets called from the debian/rules file. If it
directly copies files into the debian/tmp/... tree, it should copy
into debian/tmp/usr/bin; if it invokes the top-level Makefile of the
program, check that it does it with correct arguments. It's entirely
possible that you're calling 'make install prefix=`pwd`/debian/tmp',
when you really want debian/tmp/usr.
