I don't have a unix system to try this out on, but it looks like there
is no net change when install-dir is neither "/usr" or "/user/local", so
I'm good with it.

Please review fix [2] for jpackage bug [1].
Add support to jpackage to create Linux packages installing app images
in '/usr' tree with splicing of the app image.
For --install-dir=/usr jpackag option the resulting Debian package
will have the following layout:
- Launchers will be installed in `/usr/bin` directory
- Java runtime will be installed in `/usr/lib/$PACKAGE_NAME/runtime`
directory
- `app` directory of the app image will be installed in
`/usr/lib/$PACKAGE_NAME/app` directory
- copyright file will be installed in
`/usr/share/doc/$PACKAGE_NAME/copyright` file
RPM package will have the following layout:
- Launchers will be installed in `/usr/bin` directory
- Java runtime will be installed in `/usr/lib/$PACKAGE_NAME/runtime`
directory
- `app` directory of the app image will be installed in
`/usr/lib/$PACKAGE_NAME/app` directory
For --install-dir=/usr/local jpackag option the resulting Debian
package will have the following layout:
- Launchers will be installed in `/usr/local/bin` directory
- Java runtime will be installed in
`/usr/local/lib/$PACKAGE_NAME/runtime` directory
- `app` directory of the app image will be installed in
`/usr/local/lib/$PACKAGE_NAME/app` directory
- copyright file will be installed in
`/usr/share/doc/$PACKAGE_NAME/copyright` file
RPM package will have the following layout:
- Launchers will be installed in `/usr/local/bin` directory
- Java runtime will be installed in
`/usr/local/lib/$PACKAGE_NAME/runtime` directory
- `app` directory of the app image will be installed in
`/usr/local/lib/$PACKAGE_NAME/app` directory
For any other prefixes starting with `/usr` no app image splicing will
happen and package layout will be the same as for installing at the
default `/opt` prefix.
