Offtopic but: -09?  Anything over -O2 will often at best have no effect,
at worst make your program slower.

Just add this to the end of your debian/rules:

DEB_MAKE_INSTALL_TARGET :=3D install DESTDIR=3D$(DEB_DESTDIR)

If you look at the source to makefile.mk, you'll see that it skips the
common-install step if DEB_MAKE_INSTALL_TARGET isn't set.  The reason is
because outside of Automake, DESTDIR isn't standardized.  Some people
use PREFIX for instance.  So since there is no sane default, cdbs just
doesn't try.
