I'm playing around with installing an application* whose `make install` is unfinished and therefore it dumps the app's files in meaningless locations. It's not just that I neglected to specify a prefix to configure, the files will have to be placed individually. When I first tried installing the app, I used checkinstall to generate a package, which of course installs to the bogus locations.
So what I'm wondering: is it possible to edit the file locations in an existing package, redirect file locations during package installation, create an equivs-like package that tracks files (not just metadata), or quickly throw together a package that just puts files in various locations? I'd prefer somehow using the existing, twisted package rather than trying to fix `make install` (mostly because I don't really know what I'm doing) and I want the app's files to be tracked by dpkg for the usual reasons. I'd appreciate advice on the least-painful way to accomplish this goal?
