Careful:  some targets are very reliant on ${WRKDIR} remaining.  "package"
is a stage after "install", so it is nontrivial to autoclean after "install"
safely.  Also, "replace" is an alternate form of "install", but it is very
important not to autoclean after "replace" if something goes wrong (so that
"undo-replace" works).
