Aha. I just poked around in an automake package. I see what you mean; this
is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
I've got:
Makefile.in:
DESTDIR :=
prefix := ${DESTDIR}/@prefix@
etcdir := ${DESTDIR}/etc
bindir := @bindir@
....
debian/rules:
make install DESTDIR=`pwd`/debian/tmp
Thanks a bundle -- it is precisely what I needed: a level of indirection.
