Looks like I found confirmation that the upstream build system is NOT
doing the right thing ... in CMakeCache.txt:

```
...
//The directory to install systemd service files to
MUMBLE_INSTALL_SERVICEFILEDIR:PATH=/etc/systemd/system

//The directory to install system-wide config files to
MUMBLE_INSTALL_SYSCONFDIR:PATH=/etc/mumble

//The directory to install systemd sysusers files to
MUMBLE_INSTALL_SYSUSERSDIR:PATH=/etc/sysusers.d

//The directory to install systemd tmpfiles files to
MUMBLE_INSTALL_TMPFILESDIR:PATH=/etc/tmpfiles.d
...
```

IIUC, those should point to the above mentioned dirs in ``/usr/lib``.

Cheers,
