What I gather is that all we need is a different set of makefiles for the 
different installations. The dependencies - ie sources, documents (*.sgml) 
need not be duplicated.
So, the Makefile would contain stuff like
if(debian) then make -f debianmakefile
else ...
etc
and everything else stays the same. 

Thus, the specific makefiles are different. At the same time the 
dependencies are stored only in one location. A change to a particular 
makefile should set the "dirty bit" on for the others - to see if there is 
an impact on the others. 

Is that what is implied?
