It should be relative to $(DESTDIR) though, otherwise it breaks on most
packaging systems, dpkg and rpm included. (Well, if packaged as root,
it'd probably not fail since the file is installed in the real
filesystem as opposed to the directory being packaged - resulting in a
"stale" file on the filesystem and a missing file in the package.)
