I'll add that 'make install' is in fact considered a bad practice in Linux because there is typically no 'make uninstall' and you're on your own if you want to remove or upgrade the software.

I'm fairly sure that recent autotools does generate a "make uninstall" target by default. Though it's certainly not something you can assume that all source packages provide. It should probably be treated as a bug/FR if they don't, though.
