Weird, yes.
It seems like upstream warned about the oddity: When setting --prefix to
a short path, the build routines apparently spews this:
> The prefix path ("$prefix") really should specify a"

> such as /usr/local/dacs or /usr/local/dacs-xxx.

...except the package silences that warning by use of
--disable-prefix-check :-/
