OpenPKG packages are relocatable by default, but as you rightly point
out, that refers only to the installation. But at the moment even that
doesn't work :-)

I used 'joe' as an example since it is a simple package that I didn't
need to modify the spec file to make it work.

The package I'm actually interested in is 'apt', which I uploaded to the
openpkg incoming area, btw. Apt can be reconfigured with a post-install
script to use a different root directory.

Cheers!
