About both. Because the DOC files in the build tree are also installed.

I want to have control over this mechanism. Usually I want to have  
only one build number version (and I don't want to waste time by re- 
configuring again after a 'make distclean' or such). Because when it  
happens that I start over, none of the installed superfluous DOC  
files and Emacs versions are de-installed. This worked until some day  
in winter, in February, I think. Then the etc/DOC-$ 
{version}.buildnumber<s> files were saved and new ones with  
incremented build numbers were created, and sometimes also installed  
when I did not pay attention. This seems to have changed recently (I  
am still waiting for a 'make bootstrap' to finish) ...
