Thanks for the overview.

A few minutes ago I saw my INSTALL (INSTALL_EXTRA_TMPL segment) was ran.

For some reason, I thought it was not run, because I thought I saw some
packages that have duplicated tasks in an INSTALL script and also in the
Makefile. But now it seems I was probably seeing things incorrectly.

(By the way, I now have a working INSTALL segment for a glibc package so
when using LOCALBASE as /usr it creates symlinks for /lib/ and
/sbin/sln and /sbin/ldconfig files.)
