I notice that people have to specify a target directory for
installation and to make sure that files are installed in the correct
location.

I wonder if it might be useful to allow using checkinstall or
installwatch or something like this to remove this need?

It might not always be easy to specify a target directory for
installation.

(I'm currently using checkinstall to build a Debian package for the
VMware kernel modules so that colleagues don't have to run
vmware-config.pl.  I'm looking for a replacement for that happy day
when our working group switches to Gentoo.)
