 From a Gentoo-ebuild for shadow, it looks like it honours DESTDIR, & 
that my difficulties were permissions-related due to my use of the 
pkgusr-method.

It still has me wondering if this proposed branch would require or 
benefit from the inclusion of the 'fakeroot' package, as used by 
diy-linux? I've never built either, & am uncertain of it's precise 
function - so this is pure speculation on my part...
