Indeed.

Yeah, I also tried quite hard to make the installation with
INSTALL_ROOT work properly, but couldn't find a good solution.

The thing is that per-package directories is going to remain optional
for a bit of time. It is a fairly radical change, probably going to
break a bunch of things. So we'll have to live with the two
possibilities (per-package disabled, per-package enabled) for at least
a few release I believe.
