umaxx, thanks for the report. I think that you raise a valid issue and paths should sys.prefix.

I do disagree with you about the installation of manpages and icon cache. Entertainer is trying to be a distro agnostic upstream. In order to be that, `python setup.py install` must do the right thing and provide the full installation for a user. Without the steps we've taken, it would not be possible to install properly from source.

I believe our Debian package removes this code in the diff.gz and lets the packaging system do the work. I think that this is the right approach to support specific distros and those who just want the source.
