I changed the %{repackagedir} away from %{_topdir}/RPM,
and used %{_var} as the new location to replace /var...
Seemed to make sense at the time, since the values for
%{_dbpath} and %{_tmppath} also used it for their defaults ?

But I currently do a search/replace later on in my build,
to replace "%{_prefix}/etc" and "%{_prefix}/var" with the
proper values, so I guess it could just default to being
located under %{_prefix} even if it doesn't work for /usr.
