I am not sure about this one, but package/xx/install is about packaging the
pkg in ipkg format, contaning dependency info, service script, uci configs,
etc.  and it is ipkg content that will be installed to root.  many times we
refer to PKG_INSTALL_DIR in package/xx/install for constructing .ipkg
content and binaries in .ipkg will be stripped by default.

Well, the above is mostly from past experience of packaging in OpenWrt.
correct me if it is wrong or there is more to add.

cheers
