The previous behavior is WRONG. If you specify an install prefix you must never randomly install files under /usr just because that's the default python interpreter's sys.prefx!!! The whole point of specifying a different install prefix is to keep your installation separate from the /usr stuff, which is probably managed by rpm, yum, apt or whatever and requires root privileges.
I agree. Though installing into a non-standard location is probably not the common use case, the previous behaviour was annoying to those of us who needed to use it.
