It's debian specific (and derived distros).  When debian pkgs are build
the flood configure with path settings to make sure everything is were
it be according to debian policy.  E.g. digikam configure is started with

 
cd obj-i486-linux-gnu && CC="cc" CXX="g++" CFLAGS="-g -Wall -O2" CXXFLAGS="-g -Wall -O2" CPPFLAGS="" LDFLAGS="" /home/ach/src/digikam/0.9.0/digikam-0.9.0/./configure --build=i486-linux-gnu --prefix=/usr --includedir="\${prefix}/include/kde" --mandir="\${prefix}/share/man" --infodir="\${prefix}/share/info" --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --libexecdir="\${prefix}/lib/digikam" --disable-maintainer-mode --disable-dependency-tracking  --with-qt-dir=/usr/share/qt3 --disable-rpath --with-xinerama --enable-final --disable-debug

Above is cdbs pkgs buildsystem's default. Old-way build pkgs either
hardcode the setting or use output of 

	admin/debianrules  echodirs

  To me vi is Zen.  To use vi is to practice zen. Every command is
  a koan. Profound to the user, unintelligible to the uninitiated.
  You discover truth everytime you use it.
