OK, what I was not understanding was that rules where exclusive, and
based _only_ on the variables names, never on their value, nor on the
primary.
So it is my (today's :) understanding that I did wrong to have some
primaries independent from the dir name, right? I mean:
~/src/am % egrep '^[^?]*install-(exec|data)-am.*:' *.am nostromo 9:54
libs.am:.PHONY install-exec-am: install-@DIR@LIBRARIES
ltlib.am:.PHONY install-exec-am: install-@DIR@LTLIBRARIES
progs.am:.PHONY install-exec-am: install-@DIR@PROGRAMS
python.am:.PHONY install-exec-am: install-@DIR@PYTHON
scripts.am:.PHONY install-exec-am: install-@DIR@SCRIPTS
are wrong, they should be like:
~/src/am % egrep '^.*[?].*install-(exec|data)-am.*:' *.am nostromo 9:55
data.am:?EXEC?.PHONY install-exec-am: install-@DIR@DATA
data.am:?!EXEC?.PHONY install-data-am: install-@DIR@DATA
header.am:?EXEC?.PHONY install-exec-am: install-@DIR@HEADERS
header.am:?!EXEC?.PHONY install-data-am: install-@DIR@HEADERS
java.am:?EXEC?.PHONY install-exec-am: install-@DIR@JAVA
java.am:?!EXEC?.PHONY install-data-am: install-@DIR@JAVA
lisp.am:?EXEC?.PHONY install-exec-am: install-@DIR@LISP
lisp.am:?!EXEC?.PHONY install-data-am: install-@DIR@LISP
mans-vars.am:?INSTALL-MAN?install-data-am: install-man
texinfos.am:?!EXEC??INSTALL-INFO?install-data-am: install-info-am
(Hm, Pavel, I think this is the bug you reported :)

But both CVS and 1.4 refuse sbin_DATA :(
