Agree, that's what I'm trying to propose. However, what to do about the
NetBSD/rumprun "userspace" libs and headers?

Right, but that's just a Debian cross toolchain re-using the "system"
userspace (headers). We need to put the "alternate universe" userspace
somewhere. I don't think there's any kind of convention for that (since no
one does it), which is why just putting everything under a self-contained
$PREFIX is the only obvious way...

Yeah, I used DESTDIR since that's the terminology Antti is using. Read my
email with s/DESTDIR/PREFIX/.
