Description Clemens Noss 2010-12-05 18:59:53 UTC 
qemu-kvm can act as if it called econf, by adding ${EXTRA_ECONF} to its ./configure line.

Use case: bug #344639 --enable-vnc-thread

It could also prepend ${EPREFIX} to /usr.

That's not good enough. EXTRA_ECONF is for autoconf generated configure script, and alone that

But you are free to use some other variable, such as EXTRA_QEMU_CONF (or similar)

I dislike this since this is something that's totally untracked and unknown from the package manager perspective. It can make tracking down an issue more difficult. A better option would be for us to just resolve your original ticket.
