There is another downside: up to now, one could use something like
foo_DATA =
to let $(DESTDIR)$(foodir) be created at installation time. This of
course no longer works, and as such is a backward incompatibility.
The patch is still missing a documentation update. I suppose we need to
document an alternative.
