Hmmm. didn't know this. Lets try it:

[624] [snoopy:bam] ~/source/cvs/libtool/depdemo >configure --prefix=/usr
[...]
[628] [snoopy:bam] ~/source/cvs/libtool/depdemo >make clean
[...]
[629] [snoopy:bam] ~/source/cvs/libtool/depdemo >make      
[...]
[633] [snoopy:bam] ~/source/cvs/libtool/depdemo >make install 
DESTDIR=`pwd`/debian/tmp
