No, I don't get these errors. I guess it's because debian uses the
DESTDIR variable to tell the build process where to put the files. It
looks like the relevant makefile part does honor this. 

My install lines looks like this: 
$(MAKE) install DESTDIR=$(CURDIR)/debian/synaptic

I hope adding this does solve your problem.

thanks for testing 0.48test2!
