I looked at the .patch file to see if it might shed some light on why this was 
trying to make a new root-level directory, and found this line:

+       mkdir -p $(DESTDIR)/share/trackballs

I don't know enough about how the original package is set up to know where 
DESTDIR is supposed to get set, but it would appear that it is not getting set, 
or is getting unset, before this line executes.
