dh_fixperms -X from a variable / file?

override_dh_fixperms in a conditional makefile include, if exists?

That said, I think the right way would be to create proper source packages
downstream.

FWIW, meta-eid has a PoC for dh_making a package from bitbake, but one could
start with manually debianized packages first.
