 No. Consider a typical upstream Makefile with
 
 install:
        cp foo ${DESTDIR}${prefix}/bin
 
 For this, INSTALLATION_DIRS=bin is appropiate. On the other hand, if you
 want to create /var/foo during +INSTALL, it is not, since
 INSTALLATION_DIRS is part of the package build, not the package
 installation.
