Sounds most sensible to me to rebuild.  Is that a problem?

If you mean that the resulting code has a host embedded, then I can 
imagine no other sensible approach than shipping source and a script to 
compile it, ask via debconf which host to use, and execute the script 
from postinst with (optional, defaulting to localhost) debconf response.
