4/6: Ruby sitelibdir, sitearchdir point to

time, I wonder if there's a better way to specify/override this.
We carry a similar sort of non-upstream patch in Fedora. You're right
that the proper way to fix this would be something like
'./configure --with-ruby-libdir=vendor'
5/6: With multiarch enabled, ${libdir}/guestfs translates to
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/guestfs on amd64 systems. This patch
makes sure that the guestfs appliance stays in /usr/liba
The appliance is actually arch-specific, so it could be that
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/guestfs is the right place for it to go.
