You just don't understand the design of Linux and Unix. There is actually a meaningful standard about where files for the system belong, so they can easily be found and shared as needed. They are generally supposed to be untouchable by regular users for security reasons. Generally you can install programs into arbitrary directories, but I think those directories aren't meant to be moved. That is not a build system or packager issue. To make a program or library load from an arbitrary location, it must be linked the right way, and your environment has to be right. The only semi-practical way out is to statically link everything, which wastes a ton of space and creates other issues related to updating software.
