this sounds nice.  A patch would be welcome, supposing that you are
willing to sign the paperwork so that we can accept it.

I'm not sure whether it should be an "enable" option.  Perhaps
--directory-layout ?

And yes, your reasoning against pkg*dir variables seems to be valid,
at least in cases when your layout option is used.

Thank you for this idea!
