However that also contributes to mis-packaging, e.g. including
/usr/share/aclocal into other packages. $mandir is not problematic,
but $datadir and $libdir can be.
Besides, with less overuse of wildcards, packager will be more alerted
when something changed (file additions, directory moving etc), which is
not a bad thing.
