the problem is that make deb is executed from Makefile and later 
executes again Makefile, so it is a sub-make command that does not 
inherit values from Makefile.vars.

The solution is to export MEMDBG (and probably the other makefile.vars 
variables), something like

MEMDBG=1
export MEMDBG

in Makefile.vars

You can commit if works for you.
