Don't take that literally, I don't know how the internals of the build system 
or CMake work, or if there are other considerations needed, I'm just saying 
that is what the effect should be, i.e. stop ignoring where the dev is asking 
it to be installed, because always trying to install in the system path causes 
more problems.

Sorry, could you explain that a bit more?  Do you mean the build system 
should, or that the dev should?

Cheers!
