previously, postinstall check was unconditionally executed.
now, postinstall check is only run for DESTDIR=/ (or equiv).

for the DESTDIR=/ case, nothing has changed for what's been
running for the last few weeks.

given that postinstall check does not actually change anything, what
is the problem?
