I'm afraid I don't grok this (nor the manual's similar wording).
Does this mean that a binary package management system that does a
staged install into $(DESTDIR) needs to do libtool --finish AFTER it
installs the binary package on a target host, or is a tar -x good
enough, as long as the absolute path of the final install location is
equal to the path following the $(DESTDIR) substring in the staged
install?
