        BTW, you can build the Debian package out of the current Chicken
        source (with, e. g., dpkg-buildpackage(1) or debuild(1).)

        I believe this is intended behaviour, as it's consistent with
        that of the other packages.  Try using
        PREFIX=/usr/local/stow/chicken instead.
