I found the problem: The Makefile which I am working on uses SUB_LIST
either not at all or incorrectly. There is a target pre-configure which
contains an operation for manual replacement of the variables in
pkg-install.in :

pre-configure:
[...]
@${SED} -e 's,%%SPOOLDIR%%,${SPOOLDIR},g; s,%%QS_USER%%,${QS_USER},g; \
s,%%QS_ID%%,${QS_ID},g' ${FILESDIR}/pkg-install.in > ${PKGINSTALL}

So I know how to proceed...

You have the powers of a seer :-)
This is what I was appending to OPTIONS:
CWRAPPER "use C wrapper (no suid perl script needed)" on

Just a newbie question: Is there a reason to use !defined(WITHOUT_...)
instead of defined(WITH_...) ?

Thanks and best wishes, Rainer
