It *assumes* stuff in /command and /service. See things in
daemontools-0.76/package. (Where the official installation scripts
are, for example.)

Either we do that or someone has to patch the packages that use
slashpackage.
One issue here is that people migrating from another system will be
surprised to find their daemontools in /usr/local and not in /package
after the transition has propagated enough that people have gotten
used to it.
Another is that you probably get a lot less support from djb's mailing
lists if you don't use his packaging conventions.
