Lemme try ...

OK, I should probably re-engineer this ... permslist is built by 
mkpermslist in the same qa dir ... it needs the source tree to grab the 
$(INSTALL) lines from the makefiles, but then I expand the PCP_FOO vars 
in mkpermslist ... I'll stop doing the expansion, and move that to QA 
994, which will fix your path differences.
The optional part is added in mkpermslist for those $(INSTALL) lines 
that are covered by conditional gmake goo, and as thus the artifact may, 
or may not, be in the package (like pmwebd's log) and/or created at run 
time (like /var/run/pcp for Debian) ... this is hard-coded knowledge in 
mkpermslist as it cannot be deduced from the $(INSTALL) lines.
Does that help?
