+Subject: [PATCH] Take %_prefix into account when compressing man pages etc,
+ take II
+
+brp-compress used to be all hardcoded around /usr for no good reason.
+Support passing prefix as an argument and only look for things to
+compress there. First attempt in 5e65f92b53ca07c6e30921688c1b84d0a6b41db7
+had an embarrassing typo/thinko/case of missing brain in the assign syntax.
+
+Based on feedback and work of Owen Taylor and Yanko Kaneti in PR #538
