Why not get rid of install-all-headers and light-install? Just have one
target that installs all that's needed, and call it "install". Are we
trying to save disk space or what?
People who are short on disk space because they are trying to run on a
small device has a lot of manual work to do anyway.

I think the argument is that packagers may want to have different make
targets for the main package and the "development" package. AFAIK,
actually they don't.
What was the argument for having an "install-all-headers" target in the
first place? It creates a lot of unnecessary pain, just to save some
disk space.
