make DESTDIR=... install broken

Hi,

when the building the Debian package of GHC HEAD, I get this error:

$ /usr/bin/make DESTDIR=/home/nomeata/dailies/2014-01-31/ghc-7.9.20140130/debian/tmp install

The problem is that it is calling ghc-pkg at the installed position, where it cannot find its libraries. /home/nomeata/dailies/2014-01-31/ghc-7.9.20140130/debian/tmp/usr/lib/ghc/bin/ghc-pkg would also not work, as that refers to absolute paths which are not there yet.

I guess it should continue using the binaries in inplace/bin just like for ghc-cabal. But that alone does not help:

It would be nice if this can be fixed before 7.8.1, packagers rely on DESTDIR.
