Follow-up Comment #7, sr #111011 (group libtool):


> Goal of build tools is to help package manager(build engineer) to prepare
installation.

No, that is not the only goal. Installation by individual users, on their own
machines, is a goal of the GNU projects too. See:

* In https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/DESTDIR.html, it is allowed
to not specify DESTDIR on the 'make install' command line.

* In https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Standard-Targets.html, the
'uninstall' target would not be specified if package managers were the only
audience.

> "Make sense" in this context is just a lie.

You should not drift into personal offense.
