No.  It will create syspkgs under RELEASEDIR, but it will not attempt to
install them in any way.

Yes, that's a side effect of how syspkgs are created.  DESTDIR is
treated rather like a scratch directory.

Hmm, maybe.  Let me think about that.

I am not sure whether that would be useful (for example, there might be
inappropriate embedded references to the DESTDIR in the database), but
you are welcome to try.  Note that syspkgs are not supported.
