In grass51/debian/rules you find the configuration. It seems,
that
 - the link trick above doesn't work with 'make mix' done in
   grass51/debian/rules
 - something else not right.

Did you try to rename the dirs instead of linking?

Once we were able to make a debian package, if time, I'll
try again soon.
