My first mail was badly worded. The 'make package' doesn't annoy me as
much as the 'make install' that doesn't install the files to
${PREFIX}, but to ${DESTDIR}${PREFIX}.

I want that 'make install' installs files to ${PREFIX} (independent of
USE_DESTDIR). I don't care if it creates a binary package for that or
not.
