I guess checkinstalll is only a neat replace for 'make uninstall' and it 
saves you a recompile on a different machine. In lack of dependency checking 
it is not guaranteed to work on a different machine but I suspect it was 
never inteded to be.

A good packaging tool should allow dependency checking with an ability to 
override dependency(ies) as specified by the administrator.
