As long as there are no regressions wrt previous releases, this could be deferred to the future versions. Up to you, of course. (Being relocatable is important on Windows, where there's no standard tree structure we have on Posix systems, so people install pre-built packages in arbitrary places, quite different from the configured $prefix, and expect them to work. It is probably less important on Posix systems, or when used on the same system as the one where the package was built.)
