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

That said, it certainly do not surprise me that CDBS is incompatible 
with other tools also using Make snippets and DEB_DESTDIR but 
differently.


Suggestions of how to solve[1] this is of course appreciated, as is more 
info on what is the actual problem here.


Kind regards,

[1] except for rewriting CDBS to change semantics of DEB_DESTDIR or 
renaming that variable, both of which is unrealistic to change, I 
believe.
