texmf creates lots of files in /var during installation.
Shouldn't these live in ${PREFIX}/var?

Is ${PREFIX}/var even a thing? How about ${VARBASE}?

TeX already puts them under VARBASE
% grep -r VARBASE ../kpathsea/
../kpathsea/patches/patch-aa:+TEXMFSYSVAR = @VARBASE@/lib/texmf
../kpathsea/DEINSTALL: @VARBASE@/lib/texmf/ls-R \
../kpathsea/INSTALL: @VARBASE@/lib/texmf \

../kpathsea/Makefile:SUBST_SED.texmfdir+= -e's,@VARBASE@,${VARBASE:C;///*;/;g:C;/$;;},'

../kpathsea/Makefile:BUILD_DEFS+= VARBASE
../kpathsea/Makefile:OWN_DIRS+= ${TEXMFLOCAL} ${VARBASE}/lib/texmf
../kpathsea/Makefile:OWN_DIRS_PERMS+= ${VARBASE}/lib/texmf/fonts/${d}
