As far as I can tell it (still) does. I've used this since about 2004.

I'm not sure what's really shorter about it, and I'm not sure it would
be so easy to implement in the current Makefile machinery.
Setting MKUNPRIVED=no IFF ${DESTDIR} is "/" makes some sense, and
shouldn't break anything else that I'm aware of, but for me that
wouldn't really be a huge enough improvement to be worthwhile either.
I can send you my wrapper and helper scripts for a deeper look at how
I've been doing builds if you'd like.
