In Fedora 36+ / Python 3.10+ we now use an install_scheme that looks like this:
'purelib': '{base}/local/lib/python{py_version_short}/site-packages',
'platlib':
'{platbase}/local/{platlibdir}/python{py_version_short}/site-packages',
'scripts': '{base}/local/bin',
'data': '{base}/local',
...
We got a user report [1] saying that `pip install --root ... --prefix /usr` the
prefix is not respected at all.
That is, users expect that /usr/local is the prefix, and when they explicitly
set it to /usr, the /local/ bit will not be there, while in reality, /local/ is
not a part of the prefix, but it is a part of the installation scheme.
I can somehow relate to that assumption.
Now I wonder whether we should have adapted prefix instead of the installation
scheme :/
Any ideas on how to approach this problem? I am quite clueless.
