This is properly a complaint about the ``install'' program, not about
Andrew's use of it.  Where are you getting your ``install'' program?

The one that comes with AFS has exactly the property you describe: it
creates subdirectories that are unexpected by the Andrew installation
mechanism, but that are important for installing AFS.  I believe that it
accepts the ``-f'' command-line option, though, to treat the final
target as a file name rather than as a directory name.

My recommendation would be to use the ``install'' program that comes
with the Andrew distribution.
