Maybe you could later try converting it to dh_auto_configure? Doing so
would significantly simplify the invocation:
* debhelper automatically passes --disable-slient-rules unless
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS contains "terse".
* debhelper automatically passes --prefix, --includedir, --infodir and
--libdir.
* And of course --build and --host.

The problem is not with the syntax, but with the package. Look closely
which package provides it. It comes from heimdal itself and is added by
my patch. So you first need to perform a native build and then once that
native build is accessible, you can perform a cross build.
