I see you overrode image-file-in-usr-lib, but "This is where distutils installs everything" is a poor excuse. :)Is there any easy workaround for this?
Not really. While distutils has an option to install data files to a different directory (--install-data) it doesn't store that location anywhere, so the code has no way of knowing where the data could be.
In practice it means that you have to either patch the code that loads the data, or add symlinks pointing from old to new locations.
