I'm afraid so.  From the NEWS file:

* Some directory variables have been added, and others adjusted to
  changes in the GNU Coding Standards.  If your package expands
  '$datadir', '$infodir', or '$mandir' anywhere, you need to check your
  package, and possibly adjust it accordingly.  The URL to the older
  NEWS entries below, and the FAQ node 'Defining Directories' in the
  manual have more information.
