The easiest way I know of to fix the buildroot problem is to configure
your package with --prefix set to the eventual install location, but
to use gcc's LIBRARY_PATH to keep libtool from choking on the "make
install" to the temp dir. i.e.:

  LIBRARY_PATH=$(pwd)/debian/tmp make ... install

or similar.

Hope this helps.
