Hi Deepti,

It's been suggested that this could be achieved instead by using the
standard "O" variable to suggest an output dir.

Running

make deb-pkg O=build/

would use build/ as the build directory, and then put the resulting
files in the current working directory.

I haven't tested it, but if it works would it solve your problem?

Thanks,

James
