I don't use /usr/local except for linking paths to binaries and I don't suffer from such problems... :)

I followed your advice and did this
./configure --with-contrib-plugins=all --with-wx-config=/usr/bin/wx-config --prefix=/ssd1/cb/
But I did NOT delete everything in /usr/local as it would cause a lot of rework, so I tried the above instead and then both the build and install succeeded :) That must mean the --prefix is passed on to the compiler if invoked during make install. Thanks for the --prefix tip, I didn't know that defines the install dir, but now I know.

It will take you an hour to learn how to do it, but after that you'll save tons of time, because the builds done with the deb builder are way more reliable than doing it manually.

Yes indeed, deb files would be preferable. I got deb packages when building from Jens' tarballs, but then it is all built into his setup, or so it seems. What I did then was $ sudo dpkg-buildpackage, it gave me a bunch of deb-packages to install.
Can I just replace make with dpkg-buildpackage when building from your github clone? If no, where can I read and learn?
oBFusCATed:
I'm not sure if you can build deb packages from plain repo or you need to make a dist (using make dist) commands. Read a tutorial about it and you'll learn how to do it...

I tried, and it works.
For my configuration, I had to edit debian/rules and for DEB_CONFIGURE_EXTRA_FLAGS I added --with-wx-config=/usr/bin/wx-config to the existing options to make sure i was building against the default wx for ubuntu. Then I just did:
$ ./bootstrap
$ sudo dpkg-buildpackage
And it gave me the required .deb files. Perfect.
