Well, CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX is set to /usr. The problem is that for
package building, you need to install into a staging directory, usually
something like openbabel-2.3.0/debian/tmp (you're not supposed/allowed
to write anywhere than under the source/build-directory).
As mentioned, the rest is installed fine under that staging directory
(but with a correct prefix of /usr).

Hrm right, but that makes it difficult not to compile everything twice
etc.
