They need the gitexecdir.

Otherwise this makes it difficult to package contrib scripts in certain
distributions.

For example, if you have a proper Makefile in contrib:

---
TESTS := $(wildcard test*.sh)
SCRIPTS := $(wildcard git-remote-*.py)

export T := $(addprefix $(CURDIR)/,$(TESTS))
export MAKE := $(MAKE) -e
export PATH := $(CURDIR):$(PATH)
export TEST_LINT := test-lint-executable test-lint-shell-syntax

export SCRIPT_PYTHON := $(addprefix $(CURDIR)/,$(SCRIPTS))

all: $(SCRIPTS)
        $(MAKE) -C ../.. build-python-script

install:
        $(MAKE) -C ../.. install-python-script

test: all
        $(MAKE) -C ../../t $@

$(TESTS): all
        $(MAKE) -C ../../t $(CURDIR)/$@

.PHONY: all install test $(TESTS)
---

A packager might create a git-bzr package that does this:

% make -C contrib/remote-helpers install

But that would fail, unless this patch is applied.

Distributions like Arch Linux don't have a concept of multiple binary packages
from a single source package, so there would need to be a separate PKGBUILD
(akin to spec file) for git-bzr. In addition this package might not be
official, but part of the user maintained AUR. Similarly, other distributions
might want to package git-bzr separetly, for example from launchpad.
