That's the default. The paths to various files are controlled
by the following things :

--bindir = Path to binaries client
--sbindir = Path to server binaries (defaults to same as --bindir)
--with-configdir = Path to smb.conf file (defaults to same as --libdir)
--with-lockdir = Path to Samba lock files
--with-privatedir = Path to smbpasswd file.

If you use the same path you specified in your original bug
report it should now put everything where you want (it did
in my tests).
