packaging

I have a package that needs to be build with both a regular makefile and a setup.py. The thing is that the Debian packaging magic that is invoked via debuild would recognize a makefile and do the right

make
make install DESTDIR=???

thing and get it working right. When I only have a setup.py sitting there and have dh $@ --with python3 --buildsystem pybuild in debian/rules, it will correctly install the Python module with

python3 setup.py build
python3 setup.py install --install-layout deb --root=??? ???

I do not know all those flags. And I think that I do not need to. I just want the makefile magic to happen, and then the setup.py magic.

How can I tell debuild to do both?

When I do the following in debian/rules

%:
        dh $@
        dh $@ --with python3 --buildsystem pybuild

it will only put the first one into the resulting package. I tried to delete the debhelper.log between those, but that did not change much.
