Clearly, if one were actually running ‘make install’ in production, that work would be necessary as the Makefile does it.  However, if one is building a package, that step in ‘raddb/all.mk’ seems superfluous, and means that one need remove a bunch of ephemeral files from the DESTDIR before packaging.

  Yes.  That's why you can do:

$ PACKAGE=yes make install

  And the various auto-generated certs *won't* be created or installed.

  See above.  The Linux packages have similar requirements, hence the current solution.
