This is the help output, the line below is a variable assignment.
I think its ok as it is. Perhaps /var can be replaced with LOCALSTATEDIR
to make it clearer.

configure --help suggests that --localestatedir is PREFIX/var, but we
force it to be /var. Too bad that can not be changed because it comes
from generic code, I think.
