Don't symlink the manual page, that isn't useful at all. Just ignore
the warning until you or upstream have written a useful manual page.

This command installs the file /etc instead of putting dbab.addr into

You probably want this command instead:

$(INSTALL) -m 644 -D file/dbab.addr $(etcdir)/dbab.addr
