Compiling Sylpheed on Ubuntu Breezy

Hi
I'm currently testing the new beta-release of Ubuntu "Breezy"
and I noticed something strange: The buildprocess of sylpheed-2.0.1
looks screwed-up. When configuring and compiling sylpheed on Ubuntu
5.04, I got the following:
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -DG_LOG_DOMAIN=\"Sylpheed\"
-DXTHREADS -I/usr/include/gtk-2.0 -I/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/include
-I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/include/atk-1.0 -I/usr/include/pango-1.0
-I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0
-I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include
-I/usr/local/include -DL OCALEDIR=\""/usr/local/share/locale"\"
-DMANUALDIR=\""/usr/local/share/sylpheed /manual"\"      -DFAQDIR=
\""/usr/local/share/sylpheed/faq"\"    -DTARGET_ALIAS=\
""i686-pc-linux-gnu"\"  -DSYSCONFDIR=\""/usr/local/etc"\"   -g -O2   -c
main.c

The compiled version works just fine.
On Breezy, it looks quite different and during make install, no
i18n-files get installed and the FAQ/Manual end up in the wrong place
(there is obviously something missing due to the "//"):

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -DG_LOG_DOMAIN=\"Sylpheed\"
-I/usr/include/gtk-2.0 -I/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/include
-I/usr/include/atk-1.0 -I/usr/include/cairo -I/usr/include/pango-1.0
-I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include
-I/usr/local/include -DLOCALEDIR=\""/usr/local//locale"\"
-DMANUALDIR=\""/usr/local//sylpheed/manual"\"   -DFAQDIR=
\""/usr/local//sylpheed/faq"\"        -DTARGET_ALIAS=
\""i686-pc-linux-gnu"\"   -DSYSCONFDIR=\""/usr/local/etc"\"   -g -O2
-c main.c

I'm not really familiar with the whole configure-process but either
sylpheed does something wrong or something is wrong with one of the
libs/$whatever in Ubuntu. Any way to debug this? Can someone reproduce
this? 
You can find sylpheed here: <http://sylpheed.good-day.net/>
Thanks. :)
