Are those the only defaults that should change?  These are the only ones
we are actively using, but perhaps it would be confusing to have
--prefix still point to /usr/local whereas --localstatedir and
--sysconfdir point to something appropriate for --prefix=/.

(I'm in favor of setting the expected defaults for --localstatedir and
--sysconfdir.)
