I think you're going above and beyond the call of duty. ;-) However, IMO, it's impossible to account for all the various packaging schemes at the source distribution level. In the project I work with, the source tarball installs to "standard" directories under /usr/local. After that it is up to the package maintainer of a given distribution to customize the installation for their binary package management. Otherwise I think one will go insane or at least set themselves up for a lot of extra, thankless work trying to chase even the most popular packaging formats.
