The problem was that the install root usually needs to be known at compile 
time for the binary packages. I think that the location of the 
$PREFIX/share/PACKAGE directory are usually put into the binaries by 
config.h.

Of course, if we compile the packages locally, that problem disappears 
entirely. But I don't thinkg apt is really designed for that, so I'm not 
sure if that's feasible.
