NUT 2.8.4 tries to install python modules outside of its PREFIX #3062
Description
A regression between 2.8.3 and 2.8.4, seen from a packager view point, is that the latest NUT release tries to install python modules outside of the given ./configure --prefix=PREFIX:
$ ./configure --prefix=/nix/store/g8cdal4ikk8wzq0nh9l59a8h8clqqqmq-nut-2.8.4 [...]
[...]
$ make [...]
[...]
make[4]: Nothing to be done for 'install-exec-am'.

make[4]: *** [Makefile:1037: install-pynut_py3_siteDATA] Error 1
I ran ./configure --help and looked for "python" options, but didn't find anything about where to install those files. (I only found --with-python(|2|3) options.)
Please default to a path under the given ./configure --prefix=PREFIX and/or add an option for specifying where to put those files.
This is blocking upgrading NUT in nixpkgs, because it doesn't allow packages to mutate the install tree of other packages (which is the reason for that "Permission denied" error).
