Hmm, well. The way automake currently works is that all config files are overwritten on "make install". WHich is probably the right thing to do I think. People who use "make install" without DESTDIR= should be prepared to get their configured reset in one way or another... Creating a couple of symlinks in /etc, and dropping a number of configuration files in, doesn't appear to be so much of a difference to me. Can you explain to me why we should depart from automake's traditional behaviour here, and wh symlinks should be something different from configuration files? I mean, ideally we'd just invoke "systemctl preset" for these things, but for the sake of cross-compilation we can avoid this easily. We probably should ship make sure to ship the very same symlinks we create with "make install" with a preset file though...
