Actually, on second look, Piotr's solution currently fails:

d/rules:

export PYBUILD_DESTDIR=$(CURDIR)/debian/tmp
[...]
override_dh_auto_install:
	dh_auto_install -- --install-lib=/usr/share/pyfr
	mv $(PYBUILD_DESTDIR)/usr/bin/pyfr $(PYBUILD_DESTDIR)/usr/share/pyfr/run


build log:

dh_auto_install -- --install-lib=/usr/share/pyfr
	install -d debian/pyfr
	install -d debian/pyfr-doc
	pybuild --install -i python{version} -p 3.5 
--install-lib=/usr/share/pyfr --dir . --dest-dir /<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/debian/tmp
usage: pybuild [ACTION] [BUILD SYSTEM ARGS] [DIRECTORIES] [OPTIONS]
pybuild: error: unrecognized arguments: --install-lib=/usr/share/pyfr


Whereas this succeeds:

d/rules:

export PYBUILD_DESTDIR=$(CURDIR)/debian/tmp
export PYBUILD_INSTALL_ARGS=--install-lib=/usr/share/pyfr
[...]
override_dh_auto_install:
         dh_auto_install
         mv $(PYBUILD_DESTDIR)/usr/bin/pyfr 
$(PYBUILD_DESTDIR)/usr/share/pyfr/run


build log:

dh_auto_install
	install -d debian/pyfr
	install -d debian/pyfr-doc
	pybuild --install -i python{version} -p 3.5 --dir . --dest-dir 
/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/debian/tmp
I: pybuild base:184: /usr/bin/python3 setup.py install --root 
/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/debian/tmp --install-lib=/usr/share/pyfr
running install
running build
running build_py
running install_lib
[...]


Is this a bug in pybuild or am I missing something?
