The definition of @samp{datadir} is the same for all packages, so
you should install your data in a subdirectory thereof. Most
packages install their data under
@file{$(datadir)/package-name/}.
I don't think this is clear, i.e. can one do:
datadir := $(datadir)/package-name
Note the := to just evaluate $(datadir) once. Which would lead to the
awkward scenario "configure --datadir=FOO" and "make datadir=FOO
install" doing different things (assuming that datadir is defined as
address@hidden@ somewhere else and that this is pulled into the
Makefile).
I personally would rather see a wording as is already used in several
places in the GCS. Like for sbindir:
,----
| This should normally be @file{/usr/local/sbin}, but write it as
| @file{$(exec_prefix)/sbin}. (If you are using Autoconf, write it as
| @samp{@@sbindir@@}.)
`----
Which is clear that you shouldn't do:
sbindir = @sbindir@/foo
