You should take $0 (the 0 parameter), which equals to the programm
name as <NAME> if no name is given. That way one can have a xteddy
programm for the teddy and a xpenguin (link to xteddy) for the
penguin. The same binary can thus be reused. Thats how gzip, gunzip
and zcat work (as well as others).

The users home should be added to that list. I would place my private
tedy there and I dont want to cd there just to start teddy.

I don't know. In all I did so far the --prefix wasnt used for some
paths and when no prefix was given /usr/local/ was default.

No clue again, I'm just starting to read the policy file while I'm
aplying for a maintainer key.
May the Source be with you.
