Well, I think it will be easier for me to make such a test based on my
normal bulk builds by using 'tricky_package' target as shown below (only
idea, not tested) instead of 'install package' pair.

   .PHONY: tricky_package

   .if ${PKG_DESTDIR_SUPPORT:U} == "user-destdir" || ${PKG_DESTDIR_SUPPORT:U} 
== "destdir"

   USE_DESTDIR=   yes
   tricky_package : package

   .else

   tricky_package : install .WAIT package

   .endif

In my case this will require only two changes in config files.

In this case 'install' and 'package' targets will be run using root:root.
Is it ok?
