This looks like the best you're going to get without fixing the
upstream source. Just looked at
https://github.com/adafruit/adafruit-beaglebone-io-python/blob/master/overlays/builder.py,
it contains hard-coded install paths. You could report a bug or submit
a patch to make these respect the install prefix.

What files do you need under ${exec_prefix}? Do you definitely want
all this in one package and not separate packages for the firmware and
such?

A lot of recipes have to customise the install function and add extra
directories to FILES_*, don't worry about that.
