Installation on UNIX

Hi. I'm packaging Cobra 0.9.6 for SourceMage GNU/Linux (and other systems in the near future), but the way it's installed by default is very broken, and I would like to avoid manually building and installing it.
First, form the perspective of most package managers, build and installation should be separate steps.
Second, the installation paths should probably be:
binaries -> /usr/lib/Cobra-0.9.6
documentation -> /usr/share/doc/cobra-0.9.6
Third, the wrapper script should be installed to /usr/bin, either as "cobra" or "cobra-0.9.6" if multiple versions should be able to coexist.
Would a patch with such changes be accepted?
