I didn't want to clobber the installation of the Debian NUT packages that I
had, so I put NUT into the default location.  Possibly easier would have been
to just uninstall the NUT packages and then install CVS NUT.

Preferably, I would have just made new Debian packages, but the Debian
packaging scripts are not in the NUT CVS.  Also, the Debian packages shuffle
things around a bit, probably to comply with the Debian filesystem
guidelines.  You are probably correct that proper use of --prefix, --bindir,
etc. would have made the init script work, but in this case I think it was
easier to just mangle the init script directly (after backing it up, of
course).
