Yes. On RHEL we usually package qemu-kvm only, but we try to avoid
conflicts in case other flavors of qemu be provided by third-parties
(read: EPEL).

I tried to mimic --mandir, --datadir, --docdir, and all other options
that expect full paths instead of trying to building one itself.

A --package-name option could be provided to make it easier to override
all the defaults at the same time, but I don't see why not include an
option to define the full path for confdir, just like we allow for
datadir, docdir, and mandir.
