We want to show where the executable was actually installed, and
generally that includes EPREFIX. For example, I'd want to see

  /var/tmp/whatever/.../root/prefix/usr/bin/foo

reported as

  /root/prefix/usr/bin/foo

rather than

  /usr/bin/foo

Of course, these checks are now skipped on prefix systems anyway, so
it's a bit of a moot point. But I think it's more future-proof to strip
only the $D.
