Public bug reported:
The autotools plugin default to an empty prefix if you install by
destdir (which is default), that's quite non standard and can create
confusion, is there any reason to not use the upstream default
(/usr/local) or the distribution default (/usr)?
I hit the issue while packaging gucharmap, the glib schemas got
installed in $snap/share but the other schemas coming from the deb parts
are in $snap/usr/share, our default wrapper set things to look in
$snap/usr/share and it the program was not finding its schemas.
Things works after using "configflags: [--prefix=/usr]" but ideally that
would be the default
