This is all very dependent on how we want to distribute.
You are right, in that if we want to have most people build the source,
an install target is a good thing. I suspect that 99% of people will want
to get a binaries package and install it. If that is the case, I would think
that
not installing automagically over the builder's /boot area would be a
convenience for us.
