You're absolutely right. I often had this problem, too, but until
now I ignored that and just copied the logfiles manually to another
location.
I fully agree that it would be better if each build generated a new
logfile, without overwriting the old ones. And making the logs survive
a "make clean" is also an important point.

Okay, so let's forget that point. :-)

Agreed.
So here's my second proposal:
A) Move the installation markers into a sub folder:
usr/installed-PKG -> usr/installed/PKG
B) Move the log files into a separate folder and add a timestamp:
usr/log-PKG -> log/PKG-`date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S`
C) Unpack archives quietly:
tar xv -> tar x
unzip -> unzip -q
What do you think about it? Would that address all of your issues?
Greets,
Volker
