You'll want to find out what's in the debian/rules file. You can get to
that at least two ways:
Via packages.debian.org: search for the package, scroll down to the
"More information" section, and click on the 'package'.diff.gz file.
Search through that for 'debian/control' and you should find the
appropriate part - the ./configure options will be in there.
Alternatively, if you plan on rebuilding the package, make sure you have
deb-src lines in your /etc/apt/sources.list and 'apt-get source
'package', then look in the 'package/debian/rules' file for the
configure options.
