unfortunately, I know these only as a user. I only know that rpm does have such 
an option.
Unfortunately, more often than not the packages I tried to install in 
/usr/local weren't
able to relocate because the person who created the package didn't think about 
it...

PS: in any case, big congratulations for version 2.0 ! I'm looking forward to 
use them,
    one of the reasons berlin didn't produce binary packages was that most of 
the third
    party libraries we depend on (such as FreeType2 or GGI) are currently not 
available
    as binary packages, so we can't create proper dependencies...
