only in Debian's (and all its derivative's) context.

For RedHat, SuSE, Mageia and all those others (loosely)
RedHat derivatives, it's rpm. Then there's Arch and their
tribe, which have another packaging system, more source
focussed.

Make itself doesn't care whether it is producing a binary,

(compilers, linkers, whatever) in the right order to produce
whatever results (binaries, html documentation, whatever is
needed).
