I'm a bit confused/frustrated at the non-standard disco Makefile (0.2.3). Why require DESTDIR? Why not just use PREFIX?

Let's say I do "make install DESTDIR=/usr/local". Then, because PREFIX=/usr, TARGETDIR & TARGETBIN become /usr/local/usr/lib/disco and /usr/local/usr/bin. I have to do "make install PREFIX=/usr/local DESTDIR=/" to get things right. Seems to me that the Makefile would be better without DESTDIR.

Followup: after doing "make install PREFIX=/usr/local DESTDIR=/" disco won't start because it cannot find /usr/local/conf/settings.py, when it should be looking in /etc/disco. The original settings.py was not modified.
