Is it worth considering providing defaults for each operating system we
support, using the heirarchy standard of those platforms? Further, when we
have install rules which do something more meaningful than just creating
the dest area as now, we do some combinations of these paths and a true
DESTDIR, allowing creation of a dest area somewhere other than / which can
be used to easily create native packages for the operating system(s) in
question, alternately continuing to create a dest area as now as
"staging" and either springboarding to a final install or creating native
packages from it...
