I redefine %sysconfig when I have a package that I want to live
entirely in /home/local and when that package normally locates
things in /usr and /etc.  I do this because I don't touch /home
when I update my Linux distribution, the package is custom, and I
want it to survive a distribution upgrade.  If there's a better
approach, then I'm open to it.  This is just what worked for me
so far.

Thanks for the notes!
