12.5 Install Rules for the User
===============================
Automake also generates rules for targets ‘uninstall’, ‘installdirs’,
and ‘install-strip’.
Automake supports ‘uninstall-local’ and ‘uninstall-hook’. There is
no notion of separate uninstalls for “exec” and “data”, as these
features would not provide additional functionality.
Note that ‘uninstall’ is not meant as a replacement for a real
packaging tool.
