Correct.

'make install-perms' creates the 'permissions.dat' file which lists every 
file that will be copied by make install.

make install-configure must follow make install, it's not an alternative. 
make install-configure creates most of the configuration files.  When 
reinstalling 'make install-configure' does essentially nothing.  When 
upgrading, 'make install-configure' only creates new configuration settings, 
removes obsolete configuration settings, and leaves the existing 
configuration settings untouched.
