this sounds nice. A patch would be welcome, supposing that you are
willing to sign the paperwork so that we can accept it.
I'm not sure whether it should be an "enable" option. Perhaps
--directory-layout ?
And yes, your reasoning against pkg*dir variables seems to be valid,
at least in cases when your layout option is used.
Thank you for this idea!
