Comment # 2 on bug 1187288 from Dr. Werner Fink

On previous version I had used

 export HOME=$PWD/root
 for pkg in udelim text-table shell-pipeline linea basedir rash
 do
     pushd $pkg
     raco pkg install --binary --batch --auto --user
     popd
 done

now with 8.1 the HOME (and PLTUSERHOME) are simply ignored and as spec files
do not workj as root I'm not able anynmore to install racket based packages
anymore ... 

Is there any DESTDIR approach usable for racket based packages?
