------- Additional Comments From ceder@lysator.liu.se 2003-09-28 23:23 ------- I think DESTDIR is a better method of handling this. Since stow-1.3.2 was released in 1996, stow-1.3.3 in 2002, and no newer version exists, I don't think stow can be said to be a reliable source about where the GNU project is heading.
I'm surprised that dh-make uses the $${prefix} method. I believe it is an older way. Maybe it still works with more programs than the DESTDIR method.
I'm not opening a new bug for this, unless a released version of automake, autoconf or the GNU coding standards starts advocating the $${prefix} method.
