You can add the --prefix=/usr option to configure instead.

Here is a different suggestion:

$ apt-get source gpa
$ tar xjf gpa-0.7.6.tar.bz2
$ cp -r gpa-0.7.0/debian gpa-0.7.6
$ cd gpa-0.7.6
$ emacs debian/changelog  # Optional, see below for an example entry
$ dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc -rfakeroot  # Or -rsudo
$ dpkg -i ../gpa_0.7.6-0.0.deb

Example entry for debian/changelog (the version 0.0 makes sure that
official packages will replace this one).

gpa (0.7.6-0.0) feisty; urgency=low

  * Local update to 0.7.6.
