That looks right.

I never used DESTDIR with distcheck. I don't know if it makes sense or
not. I tried any way, just to see what happens. The building of
x11proto.pdf failed. 

        [warning] /usr/bin/fop: Unable to locate fop in /home/nadon/xorg/src/proto/x11proto/tmp/usr/share/java

Somehow $DESTDIR is used in front of /usr/share/java. That makes think
your build did not have DESTDIR set when running distcheck as you would
get the same error I had, in theory.
