Bug#521014: wesnoth-1.6a won't build from source with changed "--prefix=" option

[Harald]

Package: wesnoth
Version: 1:1.6a
Severity: serious
Justification: no longer builds from source

Hello everyone,

I just tried to build wesnoth 1.6a from source to be able to have the new version parallel to the 1.4.x-series. 

$ sudo apt-get build-dep -t unstable wesnoth
$ sudo apt-get source -t unstable wesnoth

Afterwards I edited the config file
$ sudo nano wesnoth-1.6a/debian/rules
and changed the --prefix option to
--prefix=/usr/local

Then, this command stops with an error:
$ sudo apt-get -b source -t unstable wesnoth

with this messages:

I think this is a bug.

Thanks a lot,
Harald
