Sorry, I didn't mean to disparage anyone's work.  I was being more or

But in this case I have no install rules in my package.  All the
install rules come from the build system.

So are there any packages setting PKG_DESTDIR_SUPPORT to user-destdir
that I can use as a guide?  Or should I just give up and set it to "no"
like everyone else?
