Its annoying when updates to DESTDIR compliant packages break their
PLIST because the builder did not have USE_DESTDIR=yes set (to my
eternal shame I did this last week).

We have just over 8600 packages with just under 1200 lacking DESTDIR
support - could we agree a sane point to flip the switch to make
USE_DESTDIR the default? Maybe 8000 supported packages? or less than
500 without DESTDIR?
