Bug#73620: Policy example about INSTALL is wrong



Package: debian-policy
Version: 3.2.1.0

Section 4.1 of the policy manual says to build after setting

INSTALL = install

In addition to the fact that the example should use INSTALL_PROGRAM because
of the strip example later in this section, the value of the variable should
be /usr/bin/install. If it is set to a non-absolute path, configure will add
dots in subdirectories to refer to the top-level command, and then calls to
$(INSTALL) or $(INSTALL_PROGRAM) will fail, as in:

../install: No such file or directory
