Do I understand correct, emacs upstream (and other upstreams?)  
explicitly check for a /sw prefix dir?

Wow. On the one hand, one could consider it flattering. On the other  
hand, one could consider this a bug / misbehavior of these packages.  
Regardless of what we do on our side to workaround these packages, I'd  
like to propose contacting upstream of each affected package to try to  
convince them not to do that.
