Hi Neil,
I guess that Kruti meant that if a foobar package has the following
files:
/usr/bin/foobar
/usr/share/man/man1/foobar.1
/etc/foobarrc
(...)
he would like to install it the files in
prefix/bin/foobar
prefix/share/man/man1/foobar.1
prefix/etc/foobarrc (or even $Prefix/.config/foobarrc)
(...)
and that if foobar depends on bazbaz, then with an appropriate apt-get
command, bazbaz can be installed in the same prefix.
While I would also love to have this feature in Debian, it is indeed
offtopic on this list and should better be a wishlist bug of apt-get,
aptitude, or any other frontend to dpkg.
Have a nice day,
