  This the problem. In my package, DIR equals to /usr/lib/sympa and I don't
  want any /usr/lib/sympa/etc and moreover, no extra file nor directory must
  be created by the user in /usr subdirectories.

  I want all *user* configuration files for sympa in the same place, i.e. 
/etc/sympa :

  /etc/sympa/sympa.conf
  /etc/sympa/wwsympa.conf
  /etc/sympa/create_list_templates/
  /etc/sympa/templates/
  /etc/sympa/scenari/
  /etc/sympa/my.domain.org/robot.conf

  and so on

  All default configurations are going to /usr/share/sympa (ETCBINDIR). They
  must not be edited by the user.

  So, either you create an extra variable called ETCDIR which default is
  ${prefix}/etc but that i can override to /etc/sympa, either I have to
  patch Sympa on my side in order to be happy.
  The first solution would change anything for you and would please me
  as well.

   By the way, overriding sysconfdir through configure does not work. Same 
thing
   for datadir and al.

  Thanks.
