They seem to cause problems and are confusing. They also seem to be
unnecessary. All I run is 'make install && make-ca -g' when I need to
install this package. It seems those instructions were part of Ken's
problem.
Those instructions are clearly presented as an example, not as
instructions for building the package.
Yes, but that seems to buried in the text. Putting an example before
the installation instructions is not consistent with the rest of the book.
DJ, do you want to fix this?

And it is clearly stated that
wget is needed to run them.They have role="nodump" (I agree it is not
visible on the rendered book).
Recommending wget in the dependency section would create an unnecessary
circular dependency, since the CA certificates are needed by wget for
accessing https sites...
