Bug#577321: [Build-common-hackers] Bug#590157: cdbs and module-assistant: conflicting use of DEB_DESTDIR variable

Both packages use the DEB_DESTDIR variable, but with completely different semantics. It is close to impossible to use both cdbs and /us/share/modass/include/*.mk in a single debian/rules, see e.g. bug #577321.

I fail to locate CDBS nor module-assistant even mentioned in that bugreport.

KSRC = /usr/src/linux
DEB_DESTDIR=$(KSRC)/..

which stomps on cdbs's DEB_DESTDIR. As a consequence, cdbs executes:

/usr/bin/make  -C build-tree/linux-gpib-3.2.11  install 
DESTDIR=/usr/src/linux/..

which obviously won't succeed.

True, let me fix that. Basically, modass/include/generic.mk does something like:

Suggestions of how to solve[1] this is of course appreciated,

Please don't count on me here, I don't know either of the packages in question.
