There's a few issues going on here. First, support for PREFIX is 
pretty crappy in ExtUtils::MakeMaker. Far better to use 
INSTALL_BASE like so:

perl Makefile.PL INSTALL_BASE=/postgres/zz

Second, there was no way to signify a architecture nuetral place 
for the bucardo.schema file to live in. Thus, we hacked up 
the Makefile via Makefile.PL to put it in /usr/local/share (which 
is most correct place for it, but it has no macro like some of 
the other locations). So I think the answer for the moment is 
to change the three lines inside of Makefile.PL that reference 
$(DESTDIR) to $(INSTALL_BASE).

This may break things for distro packagers, but I'll have to 
wait for someone with more knowledge about that than me to 
weigh in.
