I don't quite understand this; for some time I've shifted things to
suit my taste. I use --prefix=wherever to shift everything except
cache to a suitable location, and --with-arlacachedir=/var/cache/arla
to put the cache in /var. There _was_ a time when this had problems,
but not for a long time now. I think there's still some stuff in
kth-kerberos that expects arla in /usr/arla, so I put a symlink there
to the real location.
In short, the standard features already in the code allow you to do
whatever moves you wish to make with little difficulty.
