The default install recipe is meant to not be init system dependent. There's separate install scripts to install for each init system (install-service-systemd, install-service-<insertinithere>, etc) and also one that tries to detect the init system in use (install-service).

Those recipes are not in the Makefile itself but on the included services.mk, to separate the build and several init systems logic.

Closing as I don't intend for the default install script to do anything related to init systems atm.

Maybe a comment should be added there to avoid confusion. Not many people do recognize .mk files...

I don't think this is about not realizing services.mk is part of the makefile but trying to add services installation to the install recipe without knowing it's not intended to do so. Instead I could add a comment on the install recipe warning of this.

I think how it should behave is clear enough in the installation guide so I don't think it's needed, but if I find people tend to jump to this without reading the install guide first I will add one, I just think this is a one-time oversight.
