also, the typical (standard?) method of installing lots of GNU software,
outside of any packaging system (configure; make; make test; make install)
also allows for this with 'configure --prefix'. it just doesn't seem like
that much of a stretch to ask for as a feature. but i'm willing to accept
that debian doesn't have it, and i will have to live with either not allowing
relocation, or not providing my software as .deb packages.
