Just a remark FYI and give you an idea of what i did and where i go for Debian stuff: what you propose is kind of forbidden on Debian (for what i understand), it is prohibited to use environment variables to make a software work; you have to use a configuration file or directly install the software on the system. Currently, i assume that all binaries, libraries and so on should be installed directly into the system. Actually, i already have few patches to do so; which are automatically applied when one creates Debian packages. This is still incomplete and i do not think i will have the time to work on that before few weeks or even months since i want to finish first OPM and the new GUI (which will use OPM). I guess with that you have a pretty good idea for the current situation for Debian, let me know if you want more details.
