not documented by us... this is a general thing - people who have done lots of
packaging before or have been developers for a while know how this all works.
you can do a universal "poor mans package" of anything that uses autofoo just by
doing this (regardless of distribution or packaging system - if any):

./configure --prefix=usr
make
sudo make install DESTDIR=/tmp/pkg
cd /tmp/pkg
sudo tar zcvf /tmp/pkg.tar.gz .
cd
sudo rm -rf /tmp/pkg

now /tmp/pkg.tar.gz will contain all files that that software would normally
install by default in their exact ownership, permissions and state as if you
had installed before. to install anywhere just do:

cd /
sudo tar zxvf /tmp/pkg.tar.gz
sudo ldconfig

(ie untar from root as root). you can delete your package and any files and
dirs it creates with:

IFS=$'\n' for I in `tar ztf /tmp/pkg.tar.gz`; do rm -f "$I"; done
IFS=$'\n' for I in `tar ztf /tmp/pkg.tar.gz`; do rmdir "$I" >& /dev/null; done

mind you... if you do NOT use /usr as prefix, but instead use something
like /opt/e, life is much simpler. then you can delete e with:

rm -rf /opt/e

done. though if in /opt/e you need to account for ld.so.conf finding libs
in /opt/e/lib as well as probably making symlinks to the dbus service files (as
efl suggests you do) and probably adding symlinks to the enlightenment.desktop
file from /opt/e/share/xsessions into /usr/share/xsessions. cleaning up those
symlinks on removal also will be your job. also don't forget $PATH. and if you
wish to compile against an installation here you will want to set
$PKG_CONFIG_PATH too when compiling anything against efl... (that includes
elementary and e itself).

in effect deb pkgs (rpm and others) do the above work for you.. and then some
(handle dependencies, conflicts etc.). i personally have done the above "poor
mans package" often enough as it frankly is far less work (barrier of entry)
than making a proper pkg (be it rpm, deb or arch pkg), but of the packaging
systems out there, debian is by far the most painful in terms of initial
footwork to get a package up. rpm is next (easier - a single simple generic
spec file will do a good job) and probably arch is next), wityh poor-mans
packages (tarballs) being the easiest. :)
