The main difference i can see, is that someone that download the source
package could manualy run a ./configure with his own options and
generate his own Makefile that could be used after to generate a
specific package (may be with a special path...).
If i put a dependency on the install rule, this possibility disappear
and all dpkg-buildpackage will build the same package.
May be this freedom to the system administrator that build the package
hasn't to be there ?

Have a good week-end

Best regards
