Originally broken by addition of Debian package support.

The default installation direction is actually /usr at present despite what 'INSTALL' says.

The 'debian/rules' makefile specifies the prefix as /usr so doesn't seem to depend on this. I've tested the resulting debian package and everything is still installed correctly under /usr.
