[bug-sourceinstall] [bug #17375] Assume default prefix from source

[Dâniel Fraga]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #17375 (project sourceinstall):

> The default prefix value for the root user is /usr/local .
> Could you explain what you mean here?

Example:

1) if I install Samba using ./configure; make; make install it will be
installed in /usr/local/samba. For example:

address@hidden /usr/local/samba$ ls
bin/  include/  lib/  man/  private/  sbin/  swat/  var/

2) if I install Samba using sourceinstall, it will install samba in
/usr/local instead of /usr/local/samba. This way I have the above directories
below /usr/local (wrong) and not /usr/local/samba (correct).

The default prefix is /usr/local, but for Samba it should be /usr/local/samba
(default prefix using manual install thru configure; make; make install). So
sourceinstall could respect the default prefix from the package instead of
always forcing /usr/local.
