[CORRECTION/last time, dammit!] Unpriviledged DESTDIR install of su

[Bernd Jendrissek]

These fsck'ing brains are *non*deterministic, I tell you!

Okay, once and for all, let me get the right patch into the archive of the
right list.  Then I'll fetch the jaws of life to get my foot out of its
matching mouth.  (And upgrade my firmware to brain-2.17.42)

Thanks for everyone's patience!
