Hi, a simpler fix for this problem is to change the parameters passed to ./configure.

./configure -h explains:

  --sysconfdir=DIR read-only single-machine data [PREFIX/etc]

Since PREFIX is set to /usr, it is installing to /usr/etc. You should pass --sysconfdir=$(DESTDIR)/etc to ./configure in debian/rules and then remove the superfluous "mv" command in the install target.

By the way, I came across this bug while perusing Planet Ubuntu, which has your blog. If you want any more comments on your package I'd be happy to communicate with you by email (for instance, the copyright file is currently incomplete and the package is not Lintian clean)
