Yes, the Debian package is using --program-prefix=$(CURDIR)/debian/epic5
where that points to the directory that is going to use to create
the .deb package.

I would be happy with an other way that has the same effect.  We
just want to be able to prepend a path to what we specified with
--prefix so that we can install the files to some temporary
location and put them in an archive.

We currently also patch Makefile.in like this:
--- epic5-1.0.orig/Makefile.in
+++ epic5-1.0/Makefile.in
@@ -125,7 +125,7 @@
                        $(MV) $(IP)$(EPIC_LINK) $(IP)$(EPIC_OLD); \
                fi; \
                $(RM) $(IP)$(EPIC_LINK); \
-               ln -s $(epic5)-$(VERSION) $(IP)$(EPIC_LINK); \
+               mv -f $(IP)$(EPIC) $(IP)$(EPIC_LINK); \
        fi

 #

We only ship a "/usr/bin/epic5".
