It is used instead of >make<. I think the way to deal with this problem is to use is GNU Stow. It puts "foreign" programs right out of the way of your package manager. This makes it simple to have new and old versions co-exist. I think it is a much better solution than checkinstall which attempts to integrate the new program with your existing package management system, often with the results that you observed. I wrote a short how-to that is on the "Tips for compiling" part of the Wiki: http://wiki.lyx.org/Tips/Compiling. The how-to talks about installing the latest stable version, but the same technique works with the svn branch.
