Shouldn't that be solveable by just extending the possible
destinationcategories from sbin_PROGRAMS and bin_PROGRAMS to also
include usr_sbin_PROGRAMS and usr_bin_PROGRAMS? 

I believe the LVM-people install to both / and /usr directories (they
had an relase that only put things into /usr, which broke my system
quite spectacularily when I had /usr on LVM (who was first, the
egg or the hen?). Maybe there is something to gain by takeing a look
at their Makefiles?
