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

The opposite is also true.
