As I see it, the "install" target is completely optional, so you could do as you please. Required targets are clean, binary, binary-arch, binary-indep and build. The policy lists build-arch, build-indep, get-orig-source as optional targets, and it mentions build-stamp in passing. Any other targets could in principle do whatever the maintainer wants them to do, short of being moronic or destructive. The dh_make template is just a suggestion, in my opinion it is perfectly reasonable to move the dh_install* to the install target. Lukas
