i there's little you can do to prevent your users to use:
./configure --prefix=/some/path
or ./configure alone...
wouldn't be easier to instruct your users to alwasy use --prefix=$HOME/apps/metapackage/packagename/packageversion ?
perhaps you could add in the .profile a shortcut for that like:
export PREFIX=$HOME/apps/metapackage/packagename/packageversion
so they can issue
./configure --prefix=$PREFIX
./configure --prefix=/some/path
or ./configure alone...

Sorry, but that is what I have to say about the users.However, what I can count on them is saying some sort of command like this -
python update_packages.py -p package_name -v version# -m metapackage_name -c
(-> -c equals 'create')
-and having this in their config file for the package:
configure (or for perl packages: perl Makefile.pl)
make
make install
Paths are something they will probably be sure to get wrong.
Thanks guys.

To add to that, I am have currently just made sure to send all commands through a python function which does this check for me. But if the use of commands gets widespread through the package manager program, then this could add more redundancy, than say setting something on the environment level.

installsieve
INSTALLSIEVE(1) General Commands Manual INSTALLSIEVE(1) * NAME
installsieve - user utility for managing sieve scripts SYNOPSIS
installsieve DESCRIPTION
installsieve is a utility that allows users to manage their sieve scripts kept on the server. OPTIONS
-v <name> View script with the given name. The script if retrieved sucessfully is output to standard output. -l List all of the scripts currently on the server. If one of the scripts is active a arrow is printed indicating that it is the active script. -p <port> Port to connect to. If left off this defaults to "sieve" as defined in /etc/services. -i <file> Install a file onto the server. If a script with the same name already exists on the server it is overwritten. Upon sucessfully putting the script on the server the script is set active. If <file> has the extension .script it is chopped when put on the server since sieve names may not contain a '.'. -a <name> Set <name> as the active script. The list of available names can be obtained from the '-l' option.. -d <name> Delete the sieve script on the server with <name>. -m <mechanism> Force installsieve to use <mechanism> for authentication. If not specified the strongest authentication mechanism is chosen. -g <name> Get the sieve script with <name> and save it to disk with a ".script" extension. If a file with that name already exists it is overwritten. -u <user> Userid/Authname to use for authentication; by default, the current user. CMU
