This smells like a missing DESTDIR support or something similar.
Our (Debian's) packages use a /usr prefix, but stuff is usually built
from sources in $(CURDIR), below $(CURDIR)/build, and installed under
$(CURDIR)/debian/tmp.
Installing into $(CURDIR)/debian/tmp works by setting DESTDIR to that
directory.
I'd assume that distcheck does something similar. However, if you're
blindly trying to access /usr or /usr/share directly at this point, you
lose. Which I guess is happening here.
