The "old" prefix is the value specified to ./configure, which 'make
install' will use by default if the "new" prefix is not given.  I
agree the wording could be improved.

Ok I think I understand now this example.
Thanks for your answers.
Finally I think I'll keep stow to install packages in $HOME/local(/stow) instead of $HOME/opt like I did before.
For packages in /usr/local I've changed my mind and I will use rpm instead.
