I think what you want is '--relocate OLDPATH=NEWPATH'
But, I've not used it and just scanned the man page...
--relocate OLDPATH=NEWPATH
For relocatable binary packages, translate all file paths that
start with OLDPATH in the package relocation hint(s) to NEWPATH.
This option can be used repeatedly if several OLDPATHs in the
package are to be relocated.
