No, I don't mean *any* dir in particular.  If 3rd party packages that use
functionality from this package and due to issues/intrinsics of this package end
up blindly installing files into dirs that don't exist without creating the dirs
as part of the install process, that sounds like the root cause that needs fixing.

Think for example stuff using autotools, if you run "./configure
--prefix=/foo/bar ; make ; make install DESTDIR=/quux", things Just Work wrt
creation of the /quux/foo/bar hierarchy and none of those dirs need to exist
beforehand.  If gnustep-make would work like that, there would be no need to
create nor own the /usr/local/GNUstep dir.
