mmm...doesn't this introduces broken assumption issue? `make install` is
about to move build artefact from local dirs to place on system from where
users will use the software (rephrased
[citation](https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html#Standard-Targets)
of GNU Make docs).
Now `make install` doesn't do install, but actually does sort of
`pre-install`. Anyway, that's what users nor package maintainers would expect
from `make install` and definitely the behaviour must follow the common
guidelines.
