Evidently. That's only an issue from a packaging point of view, of course.

Again, it's not the installing itself that gives me pause, but whether or not I need to get rid of my current KDevelop install for building the 5.2 branch (the "make" step, not the "make install" one). I could do that just to be sure, but I'm not expecting that the build will complete without issues in a single go which means I'd like to keep KDevelop around :)

I could also just move $prefix/include/kdevplatform aside.
