[request-tracker-maintainers] packaging of RT extensions

[Kai Storbeck]

Hello again,

Thanks for the pointers last time. I've been happily hacking for a 
while, and I'm bumping my head again.

I'm proposing to craft a patch for RTx.pm to:
a) Listen to the INSTALLDIRS=vendor argument
b) Fix the DESTDIR bug (all 4 existing packages are hot patching the 
issue or working around it).

(There is an open pull-request for b [1], but its not merged yet)

I would hope that we can suffice after this with an easy override 
target, and without the need to override dh_auto_install:

> override_dh_auto_configure:
>         RTHOME=/usr/share/request-tracker$(VERSION) dh_auto_configure

Possibly with a loop to support multiple versions.

I certainly like the sound of this, but before writing a patch I'd like 
to have a general consensus about these things in general, specifically 
for debians needs.

Your input would be appreciated :)

Thanks,
Kai
