Comment (by zooko):
So, it appears to me that if the user specifies {{{--prefix}}} then that
should dictate the location of the package database as well as the other
files. The use case described here, in which the install script is
strictly disallowed from writing outside of its prescribed prefix, should
be supported merely by specifying the prefix.
