} Ok, so it looks like the fault lies not with 'make package' but with
} 'make install', and my description :)
} 
} Without destdir:
}       make install
} -> all files are in ${PREFIX}
} With destdir:
}       make install
} -> no files are in ${PREFIX}
} 
} So let's keep 'make install' behaving the same, and add a
} 'destdir-install' for those who want it :)

     It already has a name; it's called "setenv USE_DESTDIR full".  If
you don't set the environment variable, all files are in ${PREFIX}.
