(I'm running dbp-importdsc on my scsh package... It takes its sweet
 time... CPU hungry!)

You mean that scsh-install-deb would run something like:

 scsh-install-pkg --layout fhs --prefix /usr/ --phases $*

?

Hmm... Not sure. All it really does is give the two "layout" and
"prefix" options. The situation is very similar to what happens with
the autotools: Every Debian package has to repeat the prefix, etc. The
Debian package doesn't give a special wrapper that changes the
defaults.

Frankly, I feel it is not worth the added complication; let's just
have these two arguments in every debian/rules file.
