That would break the configure --libexecdir option, though.
I think that people should still be able to do:
./configure --libexecdir=/some/odd/place
and have my helper scripts installed in /some/odd/place.
To avoid breaking things I may just have to live with the value of
libexecdir (e.g. $prefix/libexec) and pollute that directory instead of
installing into a subdirectory named after my package. Then at least
package maintainers like Debian can use --libexecdir to set a more
sensible place.
