debian/rules should have something like this:
make install DESTDIR=$(CURDIR)/debian/tmp
well my debian rules looks like this
./configure (lots of stuff here) --datadir=/etc/X11
This implies that the application is using data itself

I think, if the Makefile is not too weird, it would be a lot easier
to make it install to $(DESTDIR), and configure the directories
in the 'normal' way.

Hello
I am trying to package a program that installs some data files in to
/etc/X11/packageName
However when I run the dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot the process fails
when it actually tries to install the files to /etc/X11/packageName
Shouldn't install the files to
In this case, it should read:
datadir = ${DESTDIR}/etc/X11

It's possible that the Makefile doesn't support DESTDIR, or that you're
not using it right.
debian/rules should have something like this:
make install DESTDIR=$(CURDIR)/debian/tmp
well my debian rules looks like this
./configure (lots of stuff here) --datadir=/etc/X11
and the install block

Why do you need the --datadir option?
My guess is that both options are mutually exclusive,
Well, you could hack the Makefile.am or Makefile.in to install the conf files to
${DESTDIR}/${datadir} , or you could possibly try the following:
./configure (stuff) --datadir='${DESTDIR}/etc/X11'
Although, if the app itself uses the value of datadir (which is BAD, imo) this
approach wouldn't
