Hi Fons. On Arch we use scripts to easily build packages from source and install those. The files get installed into a fakeroot environment, then it gets packaged. The DESTDIR variable points to the fakeroot. I patched a number of your applications makefiles to include DESTDIR but it would of course be more convenient if we wouldn't have to do so. I guess other package management systems use fakeroot as well and would also benefit.
