I'd expect preinstall scripts need and want access to the staging
directory, so if you want to support them, it would be necessary to put
the stage directory below DESTDIR. Documentation has to be modified of

Yes, but I think it would be needed for syspkg as well, e.g. you have a
basic environment which doesn't have any scripts and latter packages can
use them.
