$ROOTSYS issues for ubuntu package

I've been trying out using the ubuntu package for ROOT and I've found encountered a few problems with it. Unfortunately, the ubuntu package as far as I can tell does not specify how the $ROOTSYS variable should be set. ROOTSYS=/ is the natural choice, but then I get problems like this:

Error in <TPluginManager::FindHandler>: Cannot find plugin handler for TVirtualStreamerInfo! Does $ROOTSYS/etc/plugins/TVirtualStreamerInfo exist?

TVirtualStreamerInfo does exist, but it is located in
$ROOTSYS/etc/root/plugins, not $ROOTSYS/etc/plugins. Is this a bug?
Should ROOT be willing to check $ROOTSYS/etc/root as well as
$ROOTSYS/etc, or should I contact the package maintainer and ask him
to move all the contents of /etc/root into /etc?
