Hi Jaromír,

by the way, you do not need to patch PREFIX in Upstream's Makefile, as you can
override this in debian/rules by a command like $(MAKE) PREFIX=/usr.

This reduces the complexity of your patch and makes it more likely to be
accepted upstream, which is not only a way to simplify your work, but also a
way for Debian as a whole to contribute back to the communauty.

Have a nice day,
